FIAT Final Report No. 460, dated 5 November 1945, by Robert E. Cryor of the Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency. It surveys wartime asbestos textile plants in the western zones, including Frankfurter Asbestwerke, Deutsche Kap Asbestwerke and Reinhold. It finds old equipment, about 25 percent operation, use of slave and forced labor, and fiber shortages that led to substitutes such as Schuller-process glass fiber, slag wool and peat fiber. It notes that dust control relied on cyclone or cloth-stocking collectors and lagged behind American practice.
