TEXT:

I am seeking a written statement from your dept. as to the legality of on the road operation of such a system described in the enclosed brochure. (back page.)

In 1982 I spent $4,500 with Inv. Mkt in Pitts, PA. with only paper work to show for it.

If this system is not or would not be allowed on the roads, an attempt to recover my fee is anticipated.

This would help me in my future efforts to market this system with any trucking industry.

Return postage cost would be accepted.

Thank you for your opinions.
