ATTACHMT: Attached to 1/5/95 letter from Philip R. Recht to Amin Ahmadi (A43; Std. 111)
TEXT: Dear Sir/Mom
Recently I made an application to Patent a safety device with Office of Patent and Trade Mark which it will reduce the risk of accidents caused in connection with car side mirror Blind Spot.
As a matter of safety I am sure your office is interested in implementing new devices that can increase the safety factor and decrease the risk factor for drivers of all types of motor vehicles.
My mirror can reduce dramatically (if not eliminating) Blind Spots.
It is a regular mirror that can be manufactured in various shape and size.
To demonstrate how this mirror works, imagine, for example, a 6 inch mirror that has 4 inches shaped at a straight angle and 2 inches angle of 3-5 degree outward variance. This combination of straight and outward angles can cover and eliminate the Blind Spot.
The mirror should have two specifications in molding Process which:
1 - At the point of angle there should not be any line of demarcation (to prevent a "Broken" image).
2 - At the point of angle it should have a very slight bend (to prevent a convex image).
This device will seriously impact and greatly increase the safety and well being of literally every driver of any type of motor vehicle,, and deserves serious consideration in being mandatory on all motor vehicles
Please keep it confidential and I will be more than happy to answer any question.
Sincerely yours
Enclosure

DEAR MR. SHAW
It was a pleasure talking to you. Here is a Drawing for Blind Spot Remover that can be used in Motor Vehicle Industry The Angle should be so Disgned that Eliminates Broken or two Images & also eliminate Conver Image. So there is Very fine line Between Sharp angle & Curve that is the most Important of the MIRROR that gives two picture without Distortion. Please pay attention the drawing is just for Demonstration only in reality as I mentioned there should be no Line in the PART of angle.
