ANOTHER great ASBESTOS related book from SEATTLE RETRO!
c.1958 book written by the Editorial Consultant of the Continental Diamond Fiber Co. in which the editor acknowledges names of employees from the following companies noted for their cooperation:
NVF (National Vulcanized Fibre) Company
Continental-Diamond Fibre Corporation
also Malcolm W. Riley, associate editor of Materials in Design Engineering & Joel Frados, associate editor of "Modern Plastics Encyclopedia".
Informative book contains 165 pages of black & white text, illustrations, photographs, charts, diagrams.
ASBESTOS referenced throughout (marked with post-it tabs):
-description of "Laminated Plastics" made using asbestos as filler material
-description of "Reinforced plastics & reinforced laminates" made using asbestos as resin-impregnated fibrous filler material
-as a base material & reinforcement (asbestos felts, mats & papers including Raybestos "Novabestos" made from 'dispersed, single long-fiber asbestos without filler material')
-in the section on Heat Resistant & Other Special Laminates: Asbestos Phenolic Laminates (several pages & uses detailed including Military)
-NEMA Grades A, AA description
-Table 5-2, Typical Properties of High Pressure Laminates
-Table 5-3, Typical Properties of Reinforced Laminated tubing
-Table 5-4, Typical Applications, with Advantages, of Various NEMA & Proprietary Grades of High Pressure Laminates (electrical appliance insulation, armature slot wedges, top sticks, rotor vanes & water pump thrust washers,
-Appendix B & C gives list of manufacturers & product names, some known to have used asbestos but not specifically mentioned there (i.e. Micarta, phenolic laminates, Westinghouse Electric Co. mentioned is known to have used asbestos-ask me for details)
