In this case the cost would be the bare cost of the bellows, for which we would like to know your lowest quotation in lots of 200. In addition, we should like your lowest quotation for supplying a bellows similar to the sample we are sending you, in lots of 200 300 and 400 (the price quoted by Messrs. Cornercroft being 3/6, 3/3 and 3/- respectively). We should be grateful for a prompt reply to these queries. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
