We are in receipt of your Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wst18/AP.3.5.37. We note that you will be able to send us a quantity of correct high tension cable in about a week's time, but we would point out that, as we are using this cable every day, we must of necessity go on using the cable which is at present in our stock, until such time as you can supply us with the necessary quantities to carry on with. Immediately we get to this state of affairs, we shall be pleased to return any of the defective wiring to you. Bk.{A. Birkett - Commercial Manager} | ||
