ASBESTOS REFERENCES:
Here's what I've found:
- There is an A-C Magnetic Contactor described as containing "Barrier-head of nonburning, nonhygroscopic, long-fiber asbestos, cold-molded."
- The CR9516 brake, a spring-set, two-shoe holding brake, is described as containing "a woven asbestos lining." It says that these brakes are recommended for cranes, bridges, turntables, conveyors, and machine-tool.
- The CR9523 D-C Three-Shore Spring-Set Magnet Brake is described as containing a woven and compressed asbestos material for the lining.
Pages are marked with post-it notes to help you find these asbestos references!
CONDITION: Generally good. Some cover wear. Owner name indicated on title page.
