In April 1970, Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, reported the "first overseas manufacturing unit in Victoria, Australia, to manufacture Sprayed LIMPET Asbestos," the product of J. W. Roberts Ltd; the report names the state, not the town.1 Limpet was, as another article in the same journal described the product in general, a "spraying technique created in Britain in 1931 by J. W. Roberts Limited, who secured world-wide patents for their Sprayed Limpet Asbestos process."2
