The first edition (1953) of the Asbestos Textile Institute's handbook, issued by the trade group of US asbestos textile makers (members included Johns-Manville, Raybestos-Manhattan, Keasbey & Mattison and others). It describes the asbestos minerals (chrysotile about 95 percent of world output, plus crocidolite, amosite and anthophyllite), mining, milling and Quebec grading, and textile processing. It then covers products (carded fiber, lap, roving, yarn, cord, thread, wick, rope, cloth, dryer felts, tape and tubing, with uses from electrical insulation to brake linings and dust bags), followed by ASTM specifications, a glossary and an index.
