Test1-Part One(1)

My name is Jack Lester and I'm here to talk about the company I originally founded in nineteen seventy-two, Hinde Instruments.

Today, the company, with factories in Nevada and Texas and its headquarters in California, is one of the world's largest manufacturers of telescopes.

Sales have grown at a rate of thirty-six per cent for the last ten years and in two thousand and two, reached one hundred and twenty-six million dollars.

But this hasn't always been the case. In fact, in nineteen ninety-one, the threat of bankruptcy was hanging over the company.
