Travelers Asbestos Seminar Booklet (1980): Raybestos-Manhattan Product Information

Travelers' data sheet for Raybestos-Manhattan of Trumbull, Connecticut, with the company's Exhibit A table of textile products and trade names (two copies whose figures differ), a table of the asbestos types used at its plants, and its list of raw fiber suppliers (revised March 15, 1979). A Johns-Manville internal memo of January 14, 1981, to J-M's asbestos litigation attorneys forwards the product list as received with California interrogatories, so it was added after the March 1980 seminar. As compiled by Travelers, the company gave 1930 as its first knowledge of hazards and 1972 as its first labeling, had been an ATI member since 1956, and bought stock in Cassiar Asbestos in 1953; its tables describe chrysotile textiles first sold about 1910, crocidolite packings at Manheim, Pennsylvania, until June 1972, and amosite insulation blankets made for the U.S. Navy until 1944. The sheet also lists sales to Owens-Corning, H.K. Porter, Armstrong and Combustion Engineering.
