e. The prototype model will be scheduled for delivery about sixteen

2. A series of limited tests have been performed on the "breadboard" BPE;
results of the tests of the equipment and the actual samples of the enlargements
made through the magnification range 3x to 60x shows it to be of very high
quality. Technically, the BPE can be expected to produce a yield not now

BPE prototype models is an unsolicited requirement placed upon NPIC and that
NPIC representatives are acting as agents in the procurement of the additional
prototype models.
