Claudette Potthoff to Carol Spurrier on Sales Records for Hartnagle v. Johns-Manville Sales Corporation, with Sales Printouts (1980)

A one-page Johns-Manville memo of July 8, 1980, from Claudette Potthoff of the legal department to Carol Spurrier, asking for sales records of industrial thermal insulation products for the lawsuit Paul F. Hartnagle v. JMSC (Johns-Manville Sales Corporation): J. P. Stocks Insulation Co. of Michigan (1976–77), St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis (1971–73), Anheuser-Busch in Lafayette, Indiana (1973–74), and the Cayuga Generating Station in Indiana (1974–75). It is followed by 1970s sales printouts by customer and product, and by Manville printouts of March 1990 listing Industrial Products Division sales to Anheuser-Busch from 1972 to 1989.

What it shows

The printouts show the kind of record J-M's lawyers used to answer product identification questions: customer, product code and dollar sales by year. The Anheuser-Busch sales in Lafayette in 1973 include Thermo-12 and Thermobestos pipe insulation, 301 cement, Aerotube and Flame-Safe; a 1990 printout has handwritten notes marking which products contained asbestos ("ASB") and which did not. A related search for Shell Oil is in Johns-Manville Sales Record Searches for Shell Oil in Petty v. Johns-Manville and McClarnon v. J-M (1977–1990).
