United States Gypsum Company plant at Milwaukee, Wisconsin

United States Gypsum Company named its plant at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as the manufacturing location of three plaster and stucco products in its sworn answers to interrogatories in two lawsuits, in 1986 and in 1988.1,2 The earliest is Oriental Exterior Finish Stucco, which the answers list at Milwaukee from 1932 to 1946.1,2 Red Top Patching Plaster, a finish plaster, is listed there from 1942 to 1951; in the 1988 answers the product's name is cut off on the page, but the type, years and plant are the same.1,2 Red Top Structo-Lite Gypsum Plaster for Machine Application, a basecoat, is listed at Milwaukee from 1955 to 1959.1,2

The company's answers give longer spans for these products as a whole, not for Milwaukee alone: Oriental Exterior Finish Stucco "First Produced 1930" and "Last Produced 1973," Red Top Patching Plaster "First Produced 1929" and "Last Produced 1951," and the Structo-Lite machine plaster "First Produced 1955" and "Last Produced 1972."1 The same answers give Red Top an asbestos content of "9.7% by volume"; that figure describes the product, not Milwaukee's output in particular.1,2
