E., with weekly service fees charged and extra fees if Erpi engineers went to fix a breakdown and found any competitors' parts in the machines. In 1931 the defendants informed exhibitors with whom they had contracts that they could go out into the open market and buy parts, but the parts they were allowed to buy were such items as oil cans, lamps and monkeywrenches, while the parts supplied by the defendants were higher than open market cost, Darby said.
