Replying to your letter of the 23rd instant, we wish to advise you that the Motors and Rheostat Switches, called for on Order No. 92440, are in the course of preparation at the moment. As you are aware, the design of the Switch Plate has been altered, and this is incorporated on the above Order. Also the Motors have to be selected specially, and naturally these two causes have produced a certain amount of delay. However, we anticipate being able to clear your Order before the Holiday.
