Internal correspondence at the South Charleston Plant, addressed to J. S. Cornell with copies to area maintenance superintendents and others, reporting that the Plant Laboratory had performed a NIOSH-published colorimetric test for the probable presence of asbestos on insulation samples. It says the test may give occasional false positives, that old insulation is generally treated as if it contains asbestos, and that this is costly. No author is identified on the page.
