Cotter December 5, 1906 BMY - Ann Arbor. .Michigan Gary Schultz and writer visited the engineering and purchasing personnel to discuss a request by BUY to change a speed transducer from a Synchro Start design to a unit manufactured hy Dana Precision Controls Division for our CTrS. This request wqs due to a potential cost savings, as thB Dana device is approximately $24.00 less than the Synchro Start device.. However, because of our concerns of possible deficiencies associated with the Dana device, and the fact we made it quite clear we would not be responsible for any problem/losses resulting from a failure of the Dana device, HMY decided to stick with the Synchro Start unit.
