It's hghtnAss, strength, durability and insulating properties against heat and electricity give it special advantages for use in constructing cars and electric motor subways.
 The most common uses of asbestos are for asbestos paper, nli11board. pipe covering and tagging to inelose heat pipes, furnaces and locomotives in order to prevent loss of heat in transmission. As a. non-conductor of heat it may be used not only in the preparation of fireproof safes and vaults, but for cold storage and cool ing structuEes. Houses made of as- hestos materials or coated with as-. bestos throughout are not only warmer in winter but cooler in sum mer.
