Crane Catalog No. 60
Valves, Fittings
Copyright 1960

Hardcover, 10.75" x 8", 444 pages.

This catalog contains quite a bit of information on how asbestos was used in the products they sold in 1960.  Of particular interest, there are pages on crane valve packings and crane sheet packings and gaskets, composition disks, valves using asbestos packing, cranite gaskets, and cranite packing. Some of the pages are pictured below.

"Cranite sheet packing is made from an asbestos composition."
The page on Composition Discs has descriptions of discs made out of asbestos, as well as discs made out of other material.
Packing for the larger Bronze and Iron Body Valves has plastic cores encased in woven asbestos.
Packing for Steel Valves is described as being made out of asbestos.
Spiral wound gaskets sometimes contain asbestos

CONDITION:  Owner's name written to covers and book edge.  Covers have some wear.  Business stamps and inscription to endpapers. There is a publishing defect to a couple of pages in the engineering data section, with the result being that one page is not fully readable. However, this section does not have any asbestos references.

About the picture of the front cover: Since the owner's name is written in large letters on the front cover, we've blurred the image of the cover in the picture to respect the privacy of the former owner.
