Dear Sirs, Further to your letter of the 22nd instant, and your enquiry dated the 13th, we have pleasure in confirming the writer's conversation with Mr.Mills and Mr.Steadman on Monday, when we advised you that our price for belts to Part No.EW.1775 is 3/10d. each nett. We also propose to charge this price for the six belts supplied 15/16" top width, 1/2" thick, 42° angle, 40.5" inside circumference. The particular circumstances were explained to Mr.Mills, and he appreciated that since we are not in production it is not possible for us to get down to prices based on large quantities. We give you our assurance that this matter will receive our careful attention as soon as we are in full production. Yours faithfully, FERODO LIMITED. (Signature) | ||
