Johns-Manville plant at Tilton, New Hampshire

On October 7, 1948, Johns-Manville Corporation opened "its new, multi-million dollar plant at Tilton, New Hampshire," Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, reported the next month.1 The journal said the plant was built "for the manufacture of the new, and outstandingly different, asbestos product,—Quinterra Asbestos Paper, for electrical insulation."1 In 1990, the fund that answered lawsuits for Manville Corporation dated the Tilton plant from 1948 to 1976 in its sworn answers.3

In 1950, Asbestos named Tilton among the places where Johns-Manville made industrial products, in announcing a manager's new responsibilities.4 In February 1961 a Johns-Manville item in the journal said the Tilton plant "produces an extensive line of asbestos papers, electrical insulations and asbestos sheet insulation" and was "now a Dutch Brand Division facility," having formerly been "operated by the J-M Industrial Insulations Division."2 The fund's 1990 answers list the Tilton plant's products as Quinterra, Quinterrabord, Quinorgo, Quinorgobord, Quintex, Microbestos, Millboard Type 106, Fuel Cell Millboard, Fuel Cell Paper, Telgard, Toasterbord and TV Bord.3

The same answers name the doctors who served the plant: Doctor A. Grevior of Tilton up to 1948, then Doctor F. J. Kropp of Franklin from "1948 to at least 1975," with Doctor F. J. Robinson of Tilton as secondary physician.3
