Appeal No. 98-1380 Application 08/786,741 Mr. Bradbury states (D. ¶2, S.D. ¶2): On or about June 2, 1993, pursuant to a pur- chase order (P.O.# 7120-M), Metal Building Components, Inc. (hereinafter “MBCI”) agreed to purchase a roll former (hereinafter the “MBCI roll former”) that was to be sub- sequently designed and manufactured by Bradbury. Purchase order 7120-M (Invoice 19689) describes the item ordered simply as “Bradbury Rollforming Equipment,” with a price of $951,234.00, a payment of $285,370.20 being “NOW DUE.” There is no evidence in the record of the circumstances surrounding this order, and in particular, whether the equipment ordered was to be designed by Bradbury from scratch, or whether it would be a modification of Bradbury’s existing equipment. Two additional invoices for the same purchase order, dated September 8, 1993 (No. 20023) and March 28, 1994 (No. 21132), indicate, respectively, a further balance due of $285,370.20, and a balance due prior to shipment of $399,253.60. Mr. Bradbury goes on to describe the machine as follows (D. ¶3, S.D. ¶3): The MBCI roll former constructed pursuant to the purchase order included a mechanical evidence relied upon in making the rejection. 4Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
