A ll Asbestos Litigation Filed by The Simmons Firm , C ircuit Court, Third Judicial District, Madison Cty., IL ; 8/28/03 Page 30 G.L. Cotter September 2, 1983 VIII. DRIVE AXLE PROGRAMS A. Square Edge Housing Program Drawings have been sent to all the OEM's, both major and industrial, which show change to the rectangular arm section and the change to the transition section from the aim section to the bowl! We will be monitoring these accounts' responses as to additional infoimation they may require, particularly in the case where bracketry may be mounted in the transition section. B. E-2300S PROGRAM . The Anchor Motor Freight field test units should have been installed or will be installed within the next ten days. ! We are still waiting for details required to make the UPS installation. International Harvester has asked if there is a possibility for us to supply them an E-2300S axle to be used in a test vehicle, the end result which would be to run a vibration test of that drive-line system with a yoke-mounted fly wheel in which they have sent us prints! R. Muselin is reviewing this fly wheel situation at this time! International Harvester has stated they would be more than happy to have us be a part of witnessing the test when it will be performed. C. ELECTRIC SHIFT MOTOR PROGRAM (113700) . All the OEM's have up-dated drawings; etc. within their system and will be ready to receive these units at this time. Manufacturing relocation in some instances may require SQA of the Rocksboro facility; however it appears as if Ford has already been through this process. The account managers are abreast of this issue and should respond accordingly if additional SQA's are required of the Rocksboro facility. D. LOCK-OUT FOR DUAL-RANGE AXLE . Items requiring confirmation are complete print and customer update as well as due dates to be establishsd relative to the availablity of these units. Follow-up and customer drawing packages should be forthcoming. Cost and selling price are yet to be established. . "Timed" lock-out! A service kit will be established for field conversion! OEM's have responded and kits will be established where interested. Field pull through will sell devise to operators. Si EAB 0075535
