In the end we understood he was trying to find out if asbestos was used in the machinery or buildings that were used to make the IBM 1401. We believe he is trying to find a sleazy way to sue all the computer makers that have made computers in the past. When it became clear what he was doing, we told him to stop harassing us and contact the CHM legal people. Never heard of him again.

First thought that came to my mind when I read this was "ambulance
chaser".  I guess all the crap on TV has made me quite the cynic.
Saw one the other day about getting Meso from using talc,  Only if
