Cotter September 2, 1983 3. ENGINEERING (a) IHC Brake Meeting - August 261 1983 On Friday August 26, we met with I.H.

Brakes Bill Church - Heavy Duty Brakes Larry Kuhn - Med. Heavy-Air Brakes John Risley - Med; Chassis "S" Series Bill Hoenes Gopal Singh John Urban Milt Barnhart ; Change to crown shoe and targeted date for implementation was presented which ultimately resulted in our need to supply I.h; support data as follows: . Review of all test certification and verify or re-certify, in writing, that new design will meet 121 criteria using i;H. new rolling radius. . Based on item A, priorities were established for testing by IiH. and.to be submitted in writing to us. ; I.H; is concerned about life on crown shoe change which we agreed to run comparison test with current production to proposed change or, physically show them crown shoes that had been used in field test. . Timing for implementation is a serious issue in that we indicated early first quarter 1984 production. I.H. indicated that a major change of this nature with the amount of existing assembly part numbers in their system would take up to one year to process at a great deal of expense to I.H. with no added value to them. Eaton will review sharing Engineering cost of implementation. C. CRANE CARRIER CORPORATION Crane Carrier personnel are desirous of our holding a meeting late September or early October to present and discuss our organization, complete update on current and future products and services parts programs.
