Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 7th inst., and much regret to hear that you have now decided not to proceed further with your proposals for using our Carbon Pile Regulators in connection with your cars. We appreciate the reasons which have led you to arrive at this decision, although we had hoped that the additional advantages offered by the carbon pile regulator over the vibrator regulator would have been sufficient to justify the extra cost. If, however, you wish to reconsider this matter in the future, or if we can be of any further assistance to you, we trust that you will get in touch with us again. Yours faithfully, J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} STONE & COMPANY. LIMITED. | ||
