Sustained Respiratory damage to lungs from beryllium copper, titanium &
moligium mixture sprayed at 1300 Deg. F on breaches of 90 mm guns of Sherman
tanks. Reported to sickcall on Aug. 9 Monday 1954 after a weekend of extremely
difficult breathing. This was due to working tank guns 8 hours 5 day of the
previous week.
