Union Carbide Australia (Product Manager Barnes) to J. L. Myers on Failed Unloading of Calidria SG100 Containers at C.S.R. and Carey Packing Method (1977)

Letter from Union Carbide Australia to the Mining & Metals Division in Niagara Falls reporting that a container shipment of Calidria SG100 to C.S.R. Building Materials could not be unloaded by forklift because the bags had shifted on plastic slipsheets. It describes how competitor Carey packs its asbestos (glued slipsheets, shrink-wrapped unitised loads, cardboard-lined containers) and asks that future orders be packed that way. The exhibit also contains a misplaced January 12, 1965 Union Carbide Nuclear Division memorandum on an asbestos toxicology statement (page 2).
