Dear Mr. Cameron:
\J

	Per  our   telephone  conversation,   I  am  enclosing   some
literature  describing our  computer controlled manipulators.   These
devices are general purpose machines intended to replace manual labor
in industrial applications  where manufacturing, assembly, inspection
or test  runs are short enough and varied enough to make it difficult
to  justify  special  purpose  hard  automation.     They  also  have
applications in  the medical instrumentation field  as positioners of
examination and  sensor  probes and  tools.   As  a  truly  universal
machine, with humanoid capabilities, application  of our manipulators
is only limited by ones imagination.

	During  the  past 2  years we  have  sold more  than  a dozen
manipulators to universities, government laboratories, and  corporate
research  groups.   This includes  Stanford University,  M.I.T., SRI,
JPL,  National  Bureau of  Standards,  Naval Research  Labs., General
Motors Corp., and Western Electric Corp.

	We are currently  interested in selling manipulators  for use
in  prototype manufacturing,  assembly,  test, medical,  and research
applications.

	We are also  interested in talking about merger possibilities
with a  firm such  as  Varian Associates  who  may be  interested  in
furthur development of this manupulator system for  their own use, or
as a commercial product.

	Please feel free to contact me for furthur information or for
a demonstration.\.
