| ack cy Milog "Hill Brow," Park Greenhill Road, Harlesden, N.W. 31 Dec., 1908. X 393 Claude Johnson Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., 14 & 15 Conduit Street, W. Dear Sir, As requested, I have worked out the various particu- lars you require of a Manufactory to build 100 Motor Bodies per annum, and herewith enclose a statement giving you the data, which I have summarised below on first sheet of report. Please note that I have worked out the selling price of the bodies at 25% below Barker's retail prices. I do not con- sider you could sell them at 33% below. You would, of course, in many cases, obtain another 10% on the prices and possibly more, but I have worked out the estimated profit on the assumption that all would be sold at 25% below Barker's retail prices. I trust the particulars will be sufficient for your pur- pose. Should you require any further details, I shall be pleased to furnish them. My fee for the enclosed is twelve guineas, as arranged. I am, dear sir, Your obedient servant, Th.R.Lochungton | ||
