For the attention of Mr. Steadman Dear Sirs, Further to the discussions our Mr. Blomeley had with you some time ago regarding car heaters, we now have pleasure in giving below our quotation for heater units only of our present standard production. You appreciate that we are prepared to re-design heaters to suit the special requirements of Rolls Royce cars, and the prices given below should therefore be considered as an indication of the sort of figure which we could quote for specially designed heaters. 200 - HEATER UNITS, 'C.C.' type, to drawing NO. ST.1314.C. PRICE:- ... £2 2s 6d each (two pounds two shillings and sixpence) 200 - HEATER UNITS, 'S.2.C.A. type, to drawing NO. ST.{Capt. P. R. Strong} 683.B. Price:- ... £2 0s 0d each (two pounds) Terms: Net Cash Monthly Account. These prices are for the heater units only as shown on our drawings. The remaining parts of the equipment such as rheostat, piping, etc. we should normally merchand. We presume therefore you would have no objection to purchasing these direct from the manufacturer.
