I would like to get approximately the cost of reprinting discard + returned records from stock house. When we get the second lot of presses changed so as to be like the present set of 24 calculated on a basis of 70% OK -
+ at the rate of presses running or 8 or 12, or in 1 2 or 3 groups of presses a group being what 1 man can handle - this is for 1 day shift not operating nights. Two coats of varnish used -
