Hi Sriram:

There are trends. From 1998 through 2006, there has been a reduction in shipments of 

86.4%. I have been instructed not to provide you with annual numbers. 

Glass fronts now approach 10% of shipments and the trend is to increase this number as the

number of beverages offered in containers of all shapes, sizes and material increases. 

I hope this answers your questions.

Larry,

I was wondering if you have any trends to indicate how the shipments may vary by year?! 

So, annual numbers for the past five or ten years would be useful to assess the future 

trend for our national energy savings analysis. 

1. So, can you break the ten-year average into annual numbers? 

2. Also, is the share of closed front to glass front machines the same as present stock? I

have present stock (2004) being split as 95% closed front and 5% glass front. Is that the 

same split in present shipments or are they tending more toward glass front machines as 

the stakeholders seemed to think at the Public Meeting?

Thanks for letting me know.

Sriram, S.

Hi Sriram:

I am sorry for being late but I have been on the road quite a bit.

The average shipment of vending machines for the last 10 years is 100,963. Location is all

across the US. 

Thank you for your patience. Take care.
