January 4, 1954
During the construction of the two skiffs tinder the subject contract there
have been certain modifications made in the construction as well as in the
material used which changes are believed by the contractor to be over and
above the original contract.
We are herewith listing the major changes that were made together with a
breakdown of the additional cost incurred.

to bronze.

501" Overhead ........................... 78.10

5. Before hull compartment was to be blown out, semi-watertight hatches
were to be installed over all compartments. When air pressure had to be
used to expell water from hull, it was necessary to redesign and build
heavier hatches reinforced with aluminum.
Material.............................. . $ ?5.00

inum or steel are approximately the same.
It is requested that consideration be given to modifying subject contract
so that we may be reimbursed for the above mentioned increased costs.
Very truly yours,

 1. On 2 July 1953, at John Trumpy and Sons, Annapolis, Maryland,
of TSS, and the undersigned witnessed a pressure test on
the passenger compartment of the Skiff. This test was for the purpose
of determining whether the compartment was strong enough to withstand
the pressure which will be placed on it when the air bottles are blown
in the resurfacing of the boat.
2. The test was to fill the passenger compartment with water up
to the level of the flsai=glass babble. Air under a pounds
pressure was then forced into the remaining air apace creating a pressure
of about twenty pounds on the bottom of the compartment and at least
seventeen pounds throughout. The compartment showed no signs of rupture
and the test was considered satisfactory.
3. Small leas developed through temporary plugs in the
compartment and around the hatch flange. These are not considered to
4. Mr. Donald Trumpy stated that the first prototype would
probably be ready for launching in about three weeks.
