Narrative:
An ia came and asked me to help his friend, who owns an airplane, to install an intercom. I told him how much it would cost and that I would have to work under the ia because a repairman (mine) is not good for this. I installed the system and billed the owner, who refused to pay. I don't know if his friend, the ia, ever signed off the installation in the aircraft logbook.
