C. W. Nixon (Kentile Floors) to John L. Myers on Testing Asbestos Dust Samples and Plastic Bag Shipments (1972)

Two letters from Kentile Floors to Union Carbide's Mining & Metals Division. The first, dated October 27, 1972, confirms a phone call and says Kentile sent ten asbestos dust samples for testing because its results differed widely from those of its insurer and of state and federal tests. It also asks about the date Union Carbide could ship asbestos in plastic bags. The second, dated November 8, 1972, asks when the test results will arrive.
