For the attention of Mr Ryder. J Dear Sirs, In receipt of your letter of the 28th ulto, we sent to the G.N. London a/c the button of (1) Spark Plug and Pneu-matic horn to be sent. We understand per 'phone today, these were collected by yourselves, and have no doubt but what by this time the matter has been put right. We trust that the delay thus caused has not seriously inconvenienced you. We only have one Klaxon left to fill this Order, and as we hope to be receiving supplies in the course of the next few days, we thought it would be best to hold this one Klaxon back until we can dispatch the two. We are pressing Klaxons for delivery of these, and hope to be in a position to let you have same within the next few days. With regard to the two Lighting Sets, we are hoping to receive these from our Works by the end of the week. Yours faithfully, for S.SMITH & SONS (M.A.) LTD O.C.Lock Manager, Mechanical Dept. | ||
