I just received a quote for prototyping four samples of the three-turn (3)
potentiometer:  $250   approx. 5 weeks ARO.  Normally the charge is $1000.  They
recommend prototyping the 3-turn because it's easier and faster to do than the
3.5-turn.

	If the resolution is satisfactory on the 3-turn samples, then it will
also be satisfactory on the 3.5-turn.  The choice of 3 or 3.5 will then be based
on the steering wheel stops.

	As soon as a purchase requisition is written, I will order the samples.
