Dear Sirs, We are in receipt of your letter of the 29th. instant, reference RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/STD.4/MH.{M. Huckerby} We regret to have your complaints regarding switch and heaters, and these are being dealt with. With regard to a quotation for the Bosch Combined Heater and de-froster, we would rather not give an official quotation at the moment, as no steps have yet been made to produce same in England, and we wish to be sure that the scheme is a finalised one before we put down the necessary dies. As far as we can see, however, the price should be only a few shillings more than the price for the standard heater already quoted you. Yours faithfully, CLAYTON DEWANDRE CO. LTD (S.E. WILLETT) JOINT GENERAL MANAGER | ||
