Johns-Manville plant at North Brunswick, New Jersey

Johns-Manville ran a manufacturing plant at North Brunswick, New Jersey, which the fund that answered lawsuits for Manville Corporation dated "from 1947 through 1975" in its sworn answers of 1989.¹ Its 1990 answers give the address as P. O. Box 66, North Brunswick, with the same years.² Both sets of answers name one product made there: Spirotallic Gaskets.^1,2 In March 1971, J-M News Pictorial, the company's employee magazine, reported "DONALD CONDREN to Plant Manager" at the North Brunswick Plant.⁴

Two sources write "New Brunswick," and neither says whether it means this plant: in 1950, Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, listed "Manville and New Brunswick, N. J." among the places where a new J-M manager would supervise production of "Johns-Manville industrial products."³ The Manville fund's 1990 answers list doctors and medical services for a "New Brunswick, NJ Plant," beginning in 1964 with J. Dragon, Jr., M.D., and the Middlesex County T. B. Mobile Unit for "Periodic x-rays," and later an X-Ray Group for "Pre-employment x-rays"; most entries run to 1975.²
