Dear Sirs, Referring to your letter of the 25th ultimo we have pleasure in enclosing our quotation for rough sawn Durangus Blanks similar to those submitted for test, and also for moulded blanks, for your consideration. We recommend you if possible to machine your gears from the rough sawn blanks, as in our opinion these will give better results than the moulded ones. We regret we are unable to quote firm prices for a longer period than fourteen days but as you will appreciate this is due to the fluctuations in the cost of raw materials. We trust the prices we have put forward will prove attractive and that we may be favoured with your valued order in due course. We are, dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, For GEORGE ANGUS & CO. LTD., (Signature) | ||
