Subject: Purchase Order No. 55594E to Bell Reproductions Company,
Fort Worth, Texas (White Printer)
To fulfill the needs of the program, it had been determined that a White Print
Machine would be required. This need was concurred in by the customer in its
contract with Convair.
Procurement
The specifications for this machine to meet were designated by Convair as FWIF- STATINTL
ADT-16-0-24-0-189, dated 22 January 1959, except that the power shall be 208
volts, 60 cycles, single phase. A like machine meeting the same specification
was purchased by Convair under its Facilities Contract No. under
Purchase Order No. 113668C, dated 10 March 1959. The award at that time was
to Bell Reproduction Company, Fort Worth, Texas, as the bidder offering a
machine satisfactorily meeting Convair's specification and having certain added
features. The bids were:
Tarrant Count Reproduction Co. $4250.00
L. L. Ridgway, Inc. 5195.00
Bell Reproduction 5269.00
C. F. Pease Co. 5275.00
L. L. Ridgway, Inc. 6445.00
Tarrant County's machine was 75 watt at 40 FPM. This does not meet specification
requirements calling for 100 watt at 75 FPM.
The Ridgway machine was FOB Fort Worth with 2% discount. Add to base price of
the Ridgway machine $200.00 for uni-directional separator less discount yields
a delivered price of $5287.10. The Bell machine had, counting transportation
and discount, a delivered price of $5327.47. The difference of $40.37 becomes
inconsequential since the following features are gained for that sum:
New type of syncro-flo automatic ammonia handling resulting in faster
printing.
Automatic unidirectional separator permitting prints on both sides prior
to developing.
Cool running cylinder required for illustration work where fixtures are
used on tracings.
The machine will handle 45" rather than 42" paper.
Simple operation with women operators being used for like machines in
Tooling Department.
Prints faster than other kinds of machines according to Convair's
experience.
