The trustees of Steinway & Sons call Henry W.T. Steinway to appear before their assembly again: he has not only refused to provide the cost calculations, but has actually destroyed them! During the meeting, Henry W.T. explains that he has destroyed the calculations because, in his opinion, they are useless. William Steinway reprimands Henry W.T. for having disobeyed the order of the Board of Trustees, and orders Henry W.T. to make new cost calculations, assisted by Julius Brand and A.J. Menzl.
