ATTN MR GREG SWORDS, POREX TECHNOLOGIES

DEAR MR SWORDS.

HELLO. HOW ARE YOU DOING?

1) RE YR FAX TO JUNKO ON AUG 07, 1988

THE MAMMARY MADE AFTER JULY 23 HAS BEEN MADE WITH NEW RAW MATERIALS AND THE HARDNESS WITH BE LIKE THE SAMPLE THAT HOWARD GOT.

WE HAVE A BIG PROBLEM IF WE CHECK ALL RAW MATERIAL NUMBER FOR ALL LOT OF MAMMARY PROSTHESIS, BECAUSE SOME TO THEM WL BE PICKED UP FRM OUR STOCK SO EACH TIME WE HAVE TO CHECK ALL O FHTE, IF THERE IS 400 PCS WE HAVE TO CHECK ALL OF THEM.

Y KNOW THE HARDNESS OF THE MAMMARY WHICH WAS MANUFACTURED BEFORE JUL 23 AS Y CHECKED THE HARDNESS. NOW Y HAVE THE SAMPLE OF THE NEW MAMMARY PROSTHESIS AND Y KNOW THE HARDNESS OF THE ONE MANUFACTURED WITH NEW RAW MATERIAL. IN OUR NEXT SHIPMENT MOST OF THEM WL BE WITH NEW RAW MATERIAL AND SOME OF THEM MAY BE WITH PREVIOUS RAW MATERIAL. WHENEVER Y CHECK THE NEW SAMPLE WITH NEW RAW MATERIAL AND IF Y FIND NO PROBLEM WITH THIS, THEN Y MAY BE ABLE TO RELEASE FOR SALES. I HOPE THIS IS ACCEPTABLE TO Y.

2) TKS YR FAX AUG 3

I WANT TO HAVE STOR, TOO, VERY HOT, GETTING HOTTER AND HOTTEST. THE STORM WHICH REPELLED KUBLAI KAHN IS CALLD ‘GOD OF WIND’ IN JPN. BUT IN ATLANT, EVERYTHING MUST BE ‘GONE WITH WIND’.

RE YR QUESTION HOW TO FIND THE HARDNESS OF THE FLYING SAUCERS, WE CAN CHECK WHICH RAW MATERIAL WAS USED AND MIXING RATE ETC., HOWEVER WE HAVE NO SAMPLES AND CANNOT TEL Y WHICH ONE IS SOFT AND WHICH IS HARD, BECAUSE AT THAT TIME OUR PARAMETER WAS ONLY COHISION AND THIS DATA NEVER ADVS US TO FIND SOFTER ONE. MOREOVER RAW MATERIAL LOT NUMBER ALSO DOES NOT TELL US ABOUT HARDNESS. ONLY THE WAY IS TO OPEN THE CASE AND CHECK THE HARDNESS. I REGRET TO TELL U ABOUT THIS. CAN U CHECK THE HARDNESS FRM EACH LOT NUMBER? FOR ALL OPENED LOW PROFILE MAMMARY WE WOLD REPLACE TO NEW ONE. AND ALSO IF ALL OF THEM ARE VERY HARD WE WL REPLACE TO NEW ONE.

I DO HOPE THE STORM WL ‘GONE WITH WIND’ SOON.

HAVE A NICE DAY.

BST RGDS.
