We attach a copy of a letter received from Silentbloc in reply to a telephone conversation. This reduces the price of a set of floatex units for a chassis from £2. 4s. 4d. to £1. 0s. 0d. Although it is in regard to quantities of 2,000 as we use 12 units per chassis, this will only mean 167 chassis. We see no reason why the holes should not be pierced. | ||
