Dear Phog;

We are up against a question in connection with a new basket-
ball scoreboard we are trying to develop ami would greatly
appreciate having you pass on this question, which has to do
with the control box.

Some of our competitors are offering two boxes so that the
scorer and the timekeeper can each handle an individual box,
while others are offering, with their scoreboard, one combined
box to be operated by one person. Obviously the cost of man-
ufacturing two boxes would be greater than if the mechanism
was included in one control box.

The question we would like to put to you for your advice is
whether or not you think the methanism should be enclosed in
one box and operated by one person, or whether it would be
advisable to have two control boxes at the scorer's and timer's
table. Frankly, we are not in a position to decide on this
question ourselves and thought you would not object to giving
us your opinion.

We are enclosing a stamped, addressed envelope for your con-
venience when replying.

Kindest personal regards.

Cordially yours,
