7th November 1938.

Dear Sirs,

With reference to the Press-o-meter, which has now been on order for some time, calibrated from 0 - 100 lbs. and which was first incorrectly delivered, calibrated from 0 - 200 lbs., we very much regret to advise you that due to an extraordinary error on the part of our American Company, a further replacement, which came through against our requisition is also calibrated from 0 - 200 lbs.

We cabled our American Company this week and are astonished to receive their reply that they are unable to furnish a Press-o-meter calibrated from 0 - 100 lbs., especially in view of the fact that they advised us by letter in August that such an instrument could be supplied at a slight extra charge.

We are immediately taking this point up by letter, but in view of the fact that it will be some little time before we can receive their reply, we are bringing this point to your notice, and suggest that you utilise the 0 - 200 lb. model, at any rate as a temporary measure.

We very much regret this delay, but which you will see is due to circumstances which are entirely outside our control.

Yours Faithfully,
BENDIX LIMITED

W. Moore
Service Manager.
