JUL 7 21 Ver. from Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} e.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} to Wcr/Mr. Brock. c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} C. to By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} or. to Lby. RECEIVED X. 35731 Damard Lacquer Co. Ltd. These people have forwarded our order for 56 lbs. of brown and 56 lbs. of black Bakelite Moulding Powders to New York and assure us that same will have every attention. They cannot quote us a firm price, as the American price changes monthly and the rate of exchange is constantly varying. The order will be invoiced to us in English money, at the rate of exchange ruling at date of invoice, and all charges incurred this side of warehouse New York will be charged to us extra. The terms of payment are cash in 14 days after date of invoice. The Damard Co. express regret that we have not obtained entirely satisfactory results with Formite Moulding Powder X.5. They think this may be due to a little detail in moulding and they would like to be afforded the opportunity of giving us a practical demonstration at a later date. These people hope to submit to us a further sample of Moulding Powder, which they think will give us all the results we require. In the meantime, they desire to know in what way we consider the Bakelite powder superior to their product. Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} | ||
