February 19, 1968 TO: H. G. North Cf!l W. J. Sheehan^) FROM: R. 8. McGranahan SUBJECT: MINSTER 200 TON PRESS OURP.O. #G 120S10 < Subject press ordered 4/10/47 Is currently scheduled for delivery in September, 1968. Due to greater than anticipated production from our present continuous corbestos line and some other factors, the requirement for the additional continuous line of which this press was to be part is not nearly as urgent as at the time this order was placed. Will you please contact Minster Machine Company and explore the possibility of: 1. Deferring the delivery of the press until March, 1968, I assume if we do this we will probably have to accept an escalation clause in the order, but this might be the best alternative. 2. Cancellation of the order. this would most probably cost us something in cancellation charges since they have done at least some engineering at this point. We would like to know what these charges would amount to before making a decision on cancellation or deferring delivery. RSM/mr VPD-91-0000700 DANA-130
