b... The Bijur work is known by us to be good from past experience.

c... They are a big corporation and have a reputation for good business dealings. They are also very anxious to secure our trade and are willing to modify their designs to suit us.

d... The motor will turn the engine faster than our present motor, which is thought to be an advantage. It is thought that, ultimately, it might be proved that we could omit the Epicyclic gear on the motor and turn the engine at nearly double its present starting speed.

e... The current consumption of the Bijur Motor is not excessive as is the case with the Westinghouse.
