The price quoted to you was purely nominal and does not represent the cost of an experiment of this nature, as you are well aware. We still propose to proceed with the completion of these brakes but agree that until we receive your order, you are under no obligation to take them. Yours faithfully, BENDIX LIMITED J.S.IRVING Joint General Manager.
