Abstract
Many of the experiments described in this paper were made in the course of an examination of problems arising in connexion with technical uses of fibrous asbestos, undertaken about three years ago at the request of Dr. W. Francis, at that time Director of Research for Messrs. Turner Brothers Asbestos Company Limited, Rochdale. We have recently been able to investigate in a little more detail certain points which seemed likely to be of fairly general interest, and we now present our results in the hope that they may be of use to other researchers in this field. We are indebted to Dr. Francis and his colleagues for valuable discussions on questions arising in the course of the work, and to the Directors of Messrs. Turner Brothers for financial assistance in connexion with the earlier experiments, and for permission to publish this paper.
