A one-page internal memo from H. B. Rhodes transmitting a 1974 report on Supervisbestos, the Calidria asbestos mud additive sold for oil well drilling through Montello. The report reviews product quality trends from 1971 to 1974 and the competitive position against Flosal, Atlas 1092 and Visbestos. It uses laboratory mixing tests and King City and Niagara Falls quality control data, and discusses a link between quality and changes in the ore.
