As o f t h is d a te th e reco rd s have been changed on th e FA cover only to" introduce the p a r t number in to the system . We may change more reco rd s a s we g e t more exp erien ce w ith GE powder. However, a t t h i s d a te we do not want to g e t t ie d down to a s in g le .source (GE) u n t il we have more

experien ce w ith them. We have had good q u a lity w ith th e GE powder to
d a te , however one b atch was returned f o r a minor c o r r e c tio n . With p r ic e s
changing so fre q u e n tly I am not su re whether the GE powder i s a c o s t de crease or co st in crease a t th is time.
Cedar R apids i s c u r re n tly e v alu atin g two a d d itio n a l a s b e s t o s - f r e e powders fo r in lin e u sage. These m aterials are Durez 30959 and Plenco 325.

We would a gree Plenco 548. w i l l probably work s a t i s f a c t o r i l y on th e above p a r ts and should be te ste d a s a l e s s c o s tly m a te ria l a s w ell a s a second source.
