Dear Sirs, I have just received your letter dated October 23rd, on my return to the factory this morning, and I note that you are forwarding to us a faulty set which was first fitted on the 20th of September 1938. I have carefully noted all your remarks re the trouble, but will reserve any further comments until I have had an opportunity of examining the set. Before returning this set I will ensure that it is brought absolutely up to date in line with the sets that we have been making recently, and I can assure you that we shall be most anxious to co-operate again with you in this work, when, as you state, friend Adolf has been exterminated. I will write you again as soon as we have had the set in our Laboratories, which I hope will be early next week. Yours faithfully, FERRANTI LTD. C.W.Hall Car Radio Sales & Production Manager. | ||
