Greetings -

What is the purpose of the 2 cardboard-like pieces that are on each end of the field coil in these speakers? Are these asbestos? I've heard that asbestos appears in these speakers in some form and that would be good to know for people working on them. I suspect this material appears in various forms in these radios such as the cardboard and paper insulators. I am not sure about the wiring though or line cord material - this could be just cotton or a woven mix according to supplier catalogs of the period.. Not to scare people but more inform them if this is the case if people have a definitive answer.
