Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Robotham. We thank you for your letter of the 1st instant and we have now had the opportunity of giving this matter further consideration and our position at the moment is that we shall await instructions from you to proceed with the printing cliches for the modified dials. We think perhaps it will be advisable if you will give us a specification to work to, similar to those we had regarding the Phantom III. Bentley and 25/30 reference EL.8/9. Before doing so, perhaps you would like to discuss this matter with the writer, who will only be too pleased to call at your convenience after the end of next week. In the meantime, we would assure you of our best attention. Yours faithfully, FOR. A.T. INSTRUMENTS LIMITED. [Signature] ALL COMMUNICATIONS TO BE ADDRESSED TO THE COMPANY. | ||
