1. All information regar(ling the cletails of contracts must be submitted to [apan as fast as ltossible after placement of orclers, especially breakdou.n of sizes of doorskins, case markings. rlestiuatiorrs, etc.

2. If any change of destinatiolr or change of markings should become necessary, such information mrrst be foru'arcled to Japan as promptly as 1>ossible; horver.er, in this case it may not always be possible to ship goocls by tl-re agreed-upon shipping date due to the above-mentioned, lnore complicated procedure of applying for inspection, reports Gordorr D.
