A 1942 handbook by W. W. Godwin, illustrated by R. A. Gartman and published by Cornell Maritime Press, for pipe coverers moving into ship work for the U. S. Maritime Commission Emergency Fleet. It covers molded, block, cork and hair felt insulation, canvas jackets and boilers. It says 85% Magnesia contains 15% or less asbestos rock fiber as a binder. It calls Asbestos Cement the most commonly used plastic cement, mixed into "mud" by hand, and describes asbestos cloth on very hot lines and asbestos rope on Diesel exhausts.
