DaMoshe,
“n0mesorah, regarding R’ Tuvia GOldstein zt”l, I was told by one of his main talmidim that while he himself held an eruv was allowed in Brooklyn, he wouldn’t pasken that way out of respect for R’ Moshe, except for very specific circumstances. He never allowed it to be used openly. The example told to me was that if someone has asthma and needs to carry an inhaler, R’ Tuvia held that it could be kept in your pocket, because it’s not visible. R’ Moshe would have held that one shouldn’t leave the house on Shabbos with it.”
This is simply untrue. All Rav Tuvia’s talmidim agree that he allowed carrying in the Brooklyn eruvin. He simply did not agree with Rav Moshe’s chiddushim in eruvin at all.
