Chapter on asbestos by Oliver Bowles (pp. 388-401) from the 1920 McGraw-Hill volume of studies edited by J. E. Spurr. It reviews uses of high-grade fiber (textiles, brake facings, packings) and low-grade fiber (shingles, cement, pipe and boiler coverings, plaster, floor tile). It also covers substitutes, the geology of chrysotile, crocidolite and anthophyllite, and deposits in Quebec, Arizona, Georgia, Russia, Rhodesia, South Africa, Italy and Cyprus. It concludes that British interests controlled about 88 percent of world output.
