Dear Gentlemen: This letter is provided in response to your firm's letter of July 21, 1997 with respect to Master Interrogatory 8.3, which seeks information with respect to Garlock's distributors in Ohio from 1950 1974. Please accept this letter as Garlock's Supplemental Response to Interrogatory 8.3: Supplemental Response to Interrogatory 8.3 Garlock objects to this Interrogatory on the grounds that it is overly broad, unduly burdensome, does not call for relevant evidence and is not calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence, and the further reason that the only Garlock products at issue in this case are those to which plaintiffs' allege to have been exposed. Notwithstanding and without waiving the foregoing objections, Garlock responds that most of its product sales were on a direct basis until the mid 1960's. At that time the decision was made to utilize distributors for sales to maintenance and repair customers and, after a conversion period of several years, the majority of Garlock product sales are made through distributors. Garlock has continued to sell directly to original equipment managers who use Garlock products in making their products. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a recent listing of Garlock distributors in the State of Ohio. Garlock does not have records of its direct sales prior to the utilization of distributors, nor of sales of its distributors to specific customers. (a) See Exhibit A, which is a current listing of Garlock distributors. (b) Garlock does not possess this information. (c) Garlock does not possess this information for the time period from 1950-1974. (d) Garlock has no record reflecting this information. Please contact me should you have any questions concerning the foregoing supplemental interrogatory response. MCO/jaa Very truly yours, REMINGER & REMINGER CO., L.P.A. L\AXGi\M^ tfVU'--- Matthew C.
