| BY15-P20.2.22. contd. - 2 - I examined one of the original American machines and compared it very carefully with the latest type machine developed by the Gear Grinding Co, and satisfied myself that gears produced in the two machines would have very few features in common, the American machine having several obvious faults in connection with same, which had been entirely rectified and overcome in Mr Orcutt's design, with which the Gear Grinding Co, are at present working. I can supply, if the American Co, consider it desirable, the name of the American firm concerned, but do not hope to obtain good results, in view of what I was told by people who were in the position to know exactly the true facts of the case.
