Re: [ARSCLIST] Scotch 200 box photograph -Del's Response
Mine Safety Apparatus ( MSA for short) is still in business and manufactures SCBA ( Self Contained Breathing Appartus ) used by firefighters and others who operate in harsh environments.
I was certified as an interior firefighter using an MSA airpack and learned some of the company history along the way..
No connection to 3M as far as I know.. Replacement parts and cylinders were all ordered from MSA.

I'm sure I have a copy of one of those boxes deep in my archive, but
would love to see it online. I did some googling and found a
fascinating history of 3M, including a pdf of in-depth highlights of
their history. Quite interesting for a few minutes exploration:
Click on the 3M story BOOK link to download the 8MB, 248 page pdf.
Unfortunately the photo in question does not seem to appear anywhere on
the site... Anyone have a link to it online?
