This silly form is for companies, not the end user. But, I guess I'll sign
them and send them back, not much choice. It's even sillier 'cause I'm
supposed to transcribe the form onto my letterhead and have a 'Company
Officer' sign it. Hmmm, where did I put that letterhead... And I sure hope
the Company Officer is not on vacation.
The bearings in question are main and connecting rod (big end) bearings, and
I have no clue what "belts" are. I didn't order any belts.
Well, I'm off to go find a secretary to do the transcription and I'd better
track down that Company Officer.
