"On some modern hydraulic speed gears, the SHAFT STUFFING BOX PACKING is of the square-braided pure asbestos type."
- Same section has several paragraphs on Piping and Fittings. The use of copper asbestos packing is mentioned to solve the problem of leaking.
Please see pictures below for exact wording and context.
