It is General Electric's intention pursuant to the provisions of the Copyright Act of 1977 to copyright the
manuals for its turbine-generator sets to preclude indiscriminate and unauthorized copying of the
same by third parties. It is not the company's intent to interfere in any way with the customer's
legitimate reproduction of sections of these manuals for their own use in operating or servicing
turbine-generator sets.
This letter, therefore, constitutes General Electric's permission for El Paso Corp to make whatever
number of copies of any portion of the manual as required for your use in operating or servicing
subject turbine-generator sets.
It is GE’s goal to provide high quality images for both text and graphic portions of these manuals. In
some cases, however, images and text may be of a lesser quality because of the age of the drawing or
publication. We regret any instance of this and will continue our best efforts to improve image quality
on older documents.
