The pre-astbestos cement sheet was extrely hard and very brittle. You couldn't drive a Soft sheet (or a pointed) nail through it without cracking the sheet. It was also likely to explode if you threw it in a fire. I may be wrong but I seem to recall asbestos only came into use in cement sheet in the early to mid 50's.

Hey, I remember that stuff! As a kid we used to throw pieces in the incinerator (remember when everybody burnt leaves and waste paper in incinerators?) so it would explode. I thought that was asbestos cement sheet.
