<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Dear Martin and everybody,<br>
Concerning your draft letter of support. Although, of course, the primary concern of your group is AP238, David Madeley should be made aware that there are two incarnations of STEP-NC, ISO 14649 as well as ISO 10303 AP238. STEP-NC is a term coined by Siemens
themselves and was used first for ISO 14649, not AP238. <br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Ian<br>

We been asked for a letter of support by Siemens NX CAM. They are planning to start a STEP-NC implementation project in 2015 and would greatly appreciate a letter from us to help justify the expense. A draft is attached.<br>
