The Allbestos Corporation's original plant stood at Belfield Avenue and Fisher's Lane, in the Logan section of Philadelphia: a history of the company by John A. Bettes, Jr., published in Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, in 1972, places the making of Allbestos woven brake lining there from May 1921 to October 1925.1 The same history calls the woven lining "the company's best-known product," made in sizes "from automotive sizes up to 12" x 1 1/4" for oil-well drilling rigs"; this describes the product in general, not the Logan plant's output in particular.1
