Mr. Ryder. The 15th, I believe it was this year.

Mr. Liebeler. And you say you mounted perhaps as many as 50 scopes in the 2 weeks preceding that day?

Mr. Ryder. Very possibly.

Mr. Liebeler. Let's go back to the last 2 weeks in October. Did you have a similar number of scopes to mount during that time?

Mr. Ryder. Not quite that many. Lot of these guys like to get their scopes mounted just before they leave. For instance, buying these license plates and getting your car inspected works the same way. They wait until the last minute before they really get ready to go.

Mr. Liebeler. Do you have any recollection of about how many scopes you might have mounted during the last 2 weeks in October?

Mr. Ryder. No, sir; I sure wouldn't say specific to remember, sure wouldn't be sure about the number.

Mr. Liebeler. It would not have been as many as you did the first 2 weeks in November but would it have been more than 10?

Mr. Ryder. Oh, yeah; I'm quite sure. I say roughly 25 scopes. Of course, a lot of these people that buy their scopes wholesale or buy a cheap scope that we don't handle, we handle the better priced and better scopes and they buy these things and mounts and everything somewhere else and have us mount them.

Mr. Liebeler. The thing I am working toward here is trying to fix the date on which this ticket with the name Oswald on it—when the work was done.
