We thank you for your letter of the 9th instant and regret to hear that you consider our charge for the experimental 12 volt motor and fan excessive. Our intention was to supply a sample without cost and the first motor was supplied on this basis. In the event of you placing a production order we shall be pleased to allow you the difference in the two prices for your present instrument. We note your intention to return the fan and we will credit you when it is received. Yours faithfully, THE BRITISH THERMOSTAT CO.,LTD., (Signature) W. Lund. | ||
