In March 1972, Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, reported that Eternitwerke of Vocklabruck, Austria, had installed "an automated plant for the preparation of asbestos" at a cost of "some 70 million schillings," grading the fiber lengths "required for asbestos-cement sheeting."1 A year later the same journal reported that Eternit-Werke Ludwig would start up "its sixth asbestos-cement sheet plant at the Vocklabruck facility," a machine "designed to produce 20 tons of sheeting each three-shift day."2
