A one-page memo of June 25, 1958, from C. L. Sheckler at J-M's Manville General Plant in New Jersey, headed "Dust Abatement Program, Respirators," with copies to H. M. Jackson and the store rooms. After reviewing various respirators, it recommended standard types for the Manville plant, the Research Center and G.P.E.D.: the Mine Safety Appliances Dustfoe respirator for asbestos, silica, diatomaceous earth, talc, lead and nuisance dust, and other models for nuisance dust and for solvent vapors such as benzine and carbon tetrachloride. Each building using respirators was to name one person to clean and maintain them, and filters were to be "replaced or cleaned regularly to provide maximum protection."
