Excerpt from a Korean War-era history of the National Production Authority's Miscellaneous Metals and Minerals Division: the cover and the six-page account of its Asbestos and Fibrous Glass Section. It describes military-driven shortages of strategic Rhodesian and Canadian spinning-grade chrysotile, an industry advisory committee of asbestos textile makers (including Johns-Manville, Raybestos-Manhattan and Keasbey & Mattison), NPA Order M-96 of February 1, 1952 restricting chrysotile end uses, a glass-asbestos substitute for Navy lagging cloth, the short supply of amosite from Cape Asbestos for turbine blankets and 85% magnesia, crocidolite from South Africa and Bolivia, and fibrous glass expansion.
