VICTOPAC Henry Dehr June 5, 1968 Attached is a copy of Leo's report of his Robinson trip. I apologize for not having followed up with a clarification on the scrap disposition. Leo has confirmed that it was worse than our usual qualityt we therefore will accept the scrap in the manner indicated in his memo. Cam we arrive at an understanding of the amount involved? H. J.

Please review these and note the surface imperfections which are indicated by grease pencil. Any gaskets that have no surface imperfections are out of gauge tolerance. We are running approximately 20% rejects at this stage of manufacture. Can you determine Whether these defects are to be expected as a part of your normal production? If so, then we must incorporate them in our cost. Xt had been our expectation that there would be less scrap if inspected after blanking instead of after square shearing because at this stage isperfsctite that fell within the combustion opening would not be effected. : . .... .

Sheehan Several weeks ago Leo Dymitro visited our plant to review scrap due to the weld mark situation. If you will recall, I suggested that we would have Leo render an opinion regarding the condition of the material and at that time we would negotiate the scrap charges. Leo offered a verbal opinion tCnme. I have not heard from Mr. Tarne or you. Please solicit Mr. Dymitro1s report so that we may resolve this matter.
