After we instructed them in regard to proper soldering of connections, Control Instrument Co. and their subcontractor have increased greatly the quality of Burroughs units on our oder. The delay in meeting the promised delivery schedule is primarily due to poor coordination in procuring and delivering to the subcontractor the necessary components, and to the lack of complete parts lists and drawings. On our next order, if any, we are assured of obtaining units built to our standard of quality and delivered on schedule. Control Instrument Co. will also attempt to make the several changes in layout and components that we desire.
