Dear Mr. Allen:

We received your lstter of February 13 and delayed answer-
ing until a few experiments were completed and some pictures
made of our backboard.

We enclose photograph showing front visw of backboard with
goal attached. It is 36 inches high and 60 inches long with
rounded corners cut on a Q9einch radius$ and the top of goal
is set up 6 inches from bottom, thus you have a 30 inch bank-
ing surface above ard on either side of goal.

Our main interest is in building a marketable product with
all the strength and durability we can build into ite We
have had a number of school men in to inspect our product,
and all agree it is practical and the strongest one they have
ever seene

This type backboard can be built in any size and with any
radius cornere However, the above size is the most economi-
cals; and, since any change made would probably be adopted by —
all schools, they could in most cases make their present back-
board conform to the above specifications. This would result
in a tremendous savings to the school systeme

We will be glad to send you a sample of our backboard to be
displayed at your meeting if you will provide a place for
erection and advise us where to send it.

Very truly yours,

A. Ne MYERS COMPANY
