December 5th.1938. Messrs.Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Sirs, We have your letter of the 2nd.inst. reference RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems}5/JH in connection with our recent quotation for Rubber Bellows in accordance with your Drawing No.EXS/1220. We very much regret that our quotation was not clear; the price given was intended to be read as 6.10d.each (six point one pence each) and not 6/10d. For the six experimental samples required, we should propose to charge you at actual cost, which would probably be approximately 2/-d.each, and we presume that this would be acceptable to you. Perhaps, therefore, you would kindly let us have your instructions. Yours faithfully, JOHN BULL RUBBER CO.LTD. S. Perrin TRADE MARK | ||
