C. L. Sheckler to F. W. Matthews on Labeling Asbestos Paper and Millboard (1969)

A one-page Johns-Manville memo of April 22, 1969, from C. L. Sheckler to F. W. Matthews, headed "Asbestos Paper and Millboard Labeling, Your Letter of 3/25/69." Sheckler wrote that "the dust generated during the slitting operations in our plants is minimal," but that he was not familiar with customers' cutting or trimming and had "assumed they were similar to ours." He suggested that E. M. Fenner of research supply dust counts from J-M's paper slitting and cutting at Manville, Waukegan and elsewhere, and that they then meet to compare "our methods as compared to the customers methods."

Johns-Manville's legal department indexed the Motley 1,000 in 1984. Its index describes this document as follows:

C.L. Sheckler memo to F.W. Matthews (J-M), 4/22/69, entitled "Asbestos Paper and Millboard Labeling--Your Letter of 3/25/69." Sheckler states that "[t]he dust generated during the slitting operations in our plants is minimal." Sheckler states that he is "not familiar with the customers' operations regarding cutting or trimming, therefore, assumed they were similar to [J-M's]." Sheckler recommends that E.M. Fenner (J-M) provide him with dust counts taken at J-M's paper slitting and cutting operations at Manville, Waukegan and any other location that would provide meaningful information. Sheckler then indicates that he would like to meet with Matthews, and discuss "the counts and [J-M's] methods as compared to the customers' methods."
