Dead on!! John "is" correct tho. HOWEVER, nada has been "addressed"

If the two largest Emergency Vehicle Manufacturers in the world use
"zincchromate" bare metal primer AND a "barrier strip" between their steel

not only "bidding purposes", but for "Apparatus Construction" and
"inspection" and delivery thereof.
