PORTLAND STREET TELEPHONE: MUSEUM 5424 TELEGRAMS: ENOTSTONE WESDO LONDON Dear Sirs, Special Cork Seated Petrol Cock and Filter for Bentley Car. As promised Mr. Bowering over the 'phone this morning we have gone into the cost of producing the special petrol tap to work in conjunction with Filter F.80349 but with the flow reversed, and although we cannot give you an accurate price until we have made a sample up we think the assembly would come out at approximately 14/10d., which means the filter at the usual price of 9/10d plus approximately 5/- for the tap with banjo. We should have liked to have got away to you today a drawing of the latest proposed arrangement but have not had sufficient time. If, however, you could let us have the promised sketch we will send you a completed drawing on Monday or Tuesday. Yours faithfully, BENTON & STONE LTD. [Illegible Signature] Managing Director. | ||
