Election Report. On November 20 the Company by letter requested

The Board has considered the objections of the Company and finds
that they do not raise -substantial or material issues- with respect to
the conduct of the ballot or the Election Report. The objections are
hereby overruled. The "Request by The Standard Tool Company

to pass upon the challenges.
