Recommendations and Comments

KYTC	528 Wesley Glass Agency	N Disapprove	Going to need some help here. If I interpret correctly this product does not meet Section 815. Footnote 3 of table states minimum use values are in the weaker principal direction. This would be the "machine direction", true? If this is correct then the product falls short of the values given in the table.	Apr 28, 2022	3117
