Dear Sirs, Many thanks for your letter of December 3rd from which I note that you have received one of the two Car Radio Sets ordered. I understand that the other will be despatched to-day, certain. I also note that you will require five more sets in the near future and in view of this I am making the necessary arrangement at this end so there will be no prolonged delay when these are required. With reference to a new dial printed so as to read vertical, I have arranged to-day with our printers to submit samples of a dial done in this manner and as soon as we receive these I will forward one on for your inspection. I have made arrangements for the 5 ft. 6 ins. multi core lead and the 5 ft. dial light lead and I understand that these will be despatched to-day. With reference to the unit in which a tone control is to be mounted, I have arranged for the next unit to be despatched to have this modification for your approval; I shall be very pleased to hear how you like it. Yours faithfully, FERRANTI LTD. G.A.Hall Car Radio Sales & Production Manager. | ||
