A cover memo from the Institute Plant medical director to Industrial Relations, with copies to about a dozen others, transmitting Industrial Hygiene Survey Report 63-IH-3-G-1. The report evaluated dust from band-saw fabrication of "Thermobestos", "Kaylo" and "Carey-Temp" insulation blocks in the Construction Insulation Shop. It concluded that Thermobestos and Carey-Temp could not be safely fabricated with the existing equipment, while Kaylo could. It also described the sampling and analytical methods used.
