Comments, with reply, on "Consecutive k-out-of-n:F system with sequential failures" by R.C. Bollinger

The commenter considers the problem of finding the maximum number of failures that can occur when the system fails in R.C. Bollinger´s system (see ibid., vol.R-34, no.1, p.43-5, 1985). A table is given which shows the difference in the values of M for various values of n when k=3. In replying, R.C. Bollinger thanks the commenter for calling attention to this problem.<>
