H. B. Rhodes to W. C. Thurber on Asbestos Types Used in Spray Tests Submitted on the California Marks Bill (1975)

A one-paragraph internal memo from H. B. Rhodes to W. C. Thurber, with copies to J. L. Myers and the file, transmitting information on the type of asbestos used in tests submitted regarding the California Marks Bill. The memo states that the records are clear except for a couple of early spray texture tests. The attached tables list spray-application and grinding/sanding tests with asbestos content and airborne fiber concentrations. Handwritten notes on the tables say there is uncertainty about the asbestos type in some tests.
