I may be wrong when I say that Springfield are expecting us to fit the Bosch switch. The point is, they intend to use the Bosch switch and the wiring is being arranged for it, but it would appear more satisfactory for them to import the switch direct into U.S.A. than it would be for us to pay duty on it and then re-export it to U.S.A.
