A May 9, 1972 memo to V. P. Hayes at the Speedway Factory about asbestos and silica dust in the acetylene cylinder filler processing area, following the writer's April 18 plant walk-through. It recalls the corporate industrial hygienist's 1971 survey, in which samples were many times above the allowable levels then in force. It also notes that the OSHA asbestos limit had dropped from 12 to 5 fibers per milliliter. The text breaks off mid-sentence at the end of page 1.
