[Collins] request for info on R-388

[Al Parker]

Hi Howie,
    Same question gets asked frequently re: SP-600's.  A contract no. won't 
pin down the actual date of mfg, contracts can go on for yrs.  Our usual 
thoughts on the SP-600's is that the latest dates on the bathtubs or filter 
caps will probably be only 1 to 3 mos. before the actual rcvr mfg date. 
Co's. don't want to hold stuff in inventory too long.  Isn't that close 
enough?
