Dear Mr. Lamar:

As you are aware, Moller International/Freedom Motors has been involved in
the development and production of a limited number of rotary engines for
many years.  To support these activities we acquired some of GM's excess
rotary engine tooling, specifically a trochoid grinder and two side seal
slot cutters.  But we have been unable to locate any of the additional
equipment produced by Gleason in the early 1970's for GM and other
companies
with rotary production plans.

Are you aware of the location and availability of any rotary engine
production equipment?  We are specifically interested acquiring the
Gleason
Rotary Milling machine, as well as any additional side seal cutters. Our
production costs for the Rotapower 650 & 1300 are anticipated to remain
relatively high until we can equip our manufacturing facility in Minnesota
with machines that have higher potential throughput.

Any assistance you could provide in helping us locate this equipment would
be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Bruce E. Calkins

Not yet but somebody on here might respond.
Have you tried RPI?

Yes, Dr. Moller has spoken with them, but wanted to continue to pursue this
through as many channels as possible.

BTW, I am not receiving the ACRE newsletter any longer, so if you get a
positive response on this issue could you forward it to me?

Thanks,
Bruce

Sure Bruce.
