Subject: Compact Printer and Processor
for "Fly-Away" System
We have become aware of your interest in simple, compact
photo process equipment for a system referred to as
"Fly-Away", named after the durable fly-away box in which
the equipment is to be stored and transported.
In this connection we have fabricated equipment on our
own which we believe can satisfy your need. Our Model HRP,
Printer, High Resolution, and Model DSP Processor,
Dry-Silver, use O=ry-Silver Paper an Dry-Silver
Film materials. Model'HRP'is a high re of n contact
Frint r for up to 92 inc square pictures. Model"DSP
'
sadry processor requiring electricity only. No
chemic , water or other additional materials are used.
In prototype form these models have been shown to your
representatives. A complete description of the equipment
is found in Attachment #1. Illustrations of equipment
set-up and storage modes are also attached.
The units are available for purchase at the following
prices:
Model "HRP"
Model "DSP"
Delivery willtoz exceed days from rec of a purchase
order. The fly-away box and viewing table is to be furnished
to us during the total delivery period and then returned
as part of the completed set. The necessary packaging
materials are included in the above quotation.

In addition to providing a completely dry process,
the equipment offered is unique in its compactness to fit
into the relatively small fly-away box. Enough space is
left in the box to also hold the viewing
table which you have separately determined applicable to
the "Fly-Away" needs.
Another key feature is the Model "HRP" Printer's adequacy
to expose Daylight Type "Dry-Silver" Film and Paper. These
are sensitized in the ultra-violet spectral region for
use in fairly bright room light. The darkroom speed "Dry-
Silver" Film and Paper,ofcourse, are also available.
Prices will be quoted upon determination of type, size and
quantities you require.
This quote is valid for a period of 60 days. No warranty
or guarantee of fitness for use is expressed or impied
beyond the equipment description set forth in Attachment
#1. To expedite mail delivery of your purchase order or
other non-classified correspondence, send to my attention
