Dear Mr. Smith,

Thank you for your note of February 5th. It is not correct to say that the non-overdrive box is out of date. It is actually proposed to produce this concurrently with the overdrive version.

Since we have no general arrangement drawing of the overdrive box, I recommend that you publish what we have sent you.

Yours faithfully,
