RE: Letter of Recommendation for demonstration project of RUF system

Dear Mr. Gottschalk,

It is a pleasure for me, to write a truly favorable recommendation, to built a RUF demonstration project.

I am totally convinced, that such a system is feasible and that it is mechanically and technical possible. This system will be very useful, to demonstrate the people mover capacities and it is a major step in the aquiration process for contracts from other interested cities and organizations, as they are for example located in California.

I am very much impressed with your designs and plans and I can only hope and wish that you are able to obtain the funds to realize your project.

Sincerely yours,

Professor Dr.-Ing. O. Ohtmer, Chair Mechanical Engineering
