He asked Mr. Ferry of ECSI, who is an expert on the system itself, to explain. Ralph Ferry, of the Engineering Department of Electronic Control Security, Inc., came before the Board. He advised that he could not say exactly what is wrong with the system without seeing it, but if the feedback he has. received is correct and it is just a matter of changing the panels, it isn't that complicated.

If this is the only problem, it is a matter that can be corrected easily. Mr. Ferry stated that he knows they have been delinquent in getting here, but he does have both panels built, and one is here at the Holiday Inn. Since he did not design the original system, it is a matter of his spending a few hours studying the panel that is there to see if the wiring is the same as the new panel; if it is not, he will make the corrections necessary. The second panel is a little more complex and will require a little more time to make sure it is compatible. Assuming there are no other deficiencies, it would require this trip and one other trip within 10 days.
