The 1961 second edition of the Asbestos Textile Institute's handbook, prepared with technical help from the Quebec Asbestos Mining Association. It describes chrysotile, crocidolite, amosite, anthophyllite and tremolite, with property tables, mine and mill flowsheets, and Canadian, Rhodesian and South African fiber grades. It then covers textile processing and products (carded fiber, lap, roving, yarn, cord, thread, cloth, felts, tape, tubing, wick and rope) for electrical insulation, friction materials, packings, safety clothing and dust bags, followed by updated ASTM specifications and test methods, including magnetic rating and cotton content.
