Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 14th November, with reference to Lockheed Hydraulic Jacks, and note you would like to have a decision in regard to price in the event of your standardising these Jacks and ordering in batches of 200-sets. We hope to be in a position to give you definite information in this regard in the course of a day or so, which we trust will be satisfactory. In the meantime however, we would advise that under the latest scheme it is proposed to lift either the Front or the Rear Axle as a whole and not each Wheel separately, and we shall be glad to know if such an arrangement is acceptable to you. Looking forward to hearing from you in this regard at your earliest convenience, we are, Yours faithfully, AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS COMPANY LIMITED. F.H. Allen.
