The trial of the CP-200 and the CP-450 has ended. Every area kept a page count for each working day, and all reports are in. Those figures let us compare the models on the --(135)-- volume they handle.
Running costs were nearly equal, so reliability decided the choice. The CP-200 kept stopping partway through long jobs. The CP-450 --(136)-- our standard copier on July 1.

Re: Teaching proposal EP-114, Spring term
Dear Ms. Molnar,
Thank you for proposing a six-session short course for this spring. We note that your first choice is a workshop for 18 participants, your second a seminar for 10, and that you are available on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
We have provisionally placed the course on Thursday evenings in Room 4, which has only 12 seats, fewer than the 18 your first choice assumes.
You also asked for a projector, worktables, hand tools, and printed handouts. A projector is already installed in all classrooms, and materials left in storage after the last time this course ran may be reused. Please send a shortened list of the items you still require to our office by March 14. Our office will reserve the room, and the accounting office will issue your fee agreement.
Sincerely,
K. P.
