Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 There are numerous products containing asbestos in this book. The majority of vehicles/engines listed specify at least one type of asbestos gasket. Many of the engine gaskets were used on passenger cars, trucks, tractors, jeeps, motorcycles, locomotives, construction vehicles, airplanes, marine engines and industrial engines. Victor gaskets were used during the war years in military vehicles as well as marine engines. Photos show the testing and manufacturing of asbestos products with what appears to be no protection for the workers whatsoever. In the War Effort - Victor products met U.S. Military requirements: "During the war the largest part of Victor production has gone to military needs. The builders of heavy duty engines have called upon Victor to supply most of their requirements of cylinder head gaskets. Vast quantities of oil seals, some for the most critical applications, have been supplied the U.S. Government and prime contractors. Air Corps and aviation industry orders have run into hundreds of millions of pieces. The aim has been to satisfy urgent military needs and do as well as possible toward helping maintain the automotive transportation system." VICTOPAC, "a compressed asbestos or high pressure sheet packing. Long fiber asbestos and small rubber content- a superior grade packing of this type.” Victopac was made to meet Air Corps Specifications and was supplied to automobile, tractor and engine manufacturers as well as "many other industrial installations requiring high quality compressed asbestos sheet packing gaskets."
