Dear Sir:

Attached is Our respense to the questionnaire en reliability _

of standby diesel generator units, which was requested in Mr. Kari R..-

Goller's letter of December 15, 1977 Afso attached are the maintenance precedures requested en page 15 of the questionnaire and the surveillance test precedures requesteo on page 21.

Should you have any questions or recuire further infer.ation, please do' not hesitate to centact us.
