A five-page report of February 1963 by Dr. Paul Gross of the Industrial Hygiene Foundation for Johns-Manville on five slides of lung tissue from Joseph Kincel, sent by Dr. K. W. Smith from Middlesex General Hospital. Gross found an adenocarcinoma of the lung, apparently a primary tumor, with chronic pneumonitis, severe bronchitis and arteriosclerosis, and "Past exposure to asbestos dust (asbestos bodies present)." He ruled out asbestosis: Kincel's total exposure was "only three months and 16 days," which was "too short for the production of asbestosis," and an asbestos inflammation 17 years after the last exposure "would certainly be healed and in a 'burned-out' stage."

The report treats the question as whether Kincel had asbestosis. It does not discuss whether his asbestos exposure had anything to do with his lung cancer.
