Dear Sirs, TORQUE ARMS With reference to your letter of the 11th inst., we have pleasure in enclosing our quotation for Torque Arms in .080 and .104" material. In regard to your query respecting our invoice for six Torque Arms F.B.2924, you will appreciate that it is necessary to make up temporary rough tools for a job of this description. These tools are of no further value for production, and their cost has to be borne entirely by the experimental samples which are made from them. Yours faithfully, THE PROJECTILE & ENGINEERING CO: LTD [Signature] GENERAL MANAGER Encl. Quotation. | ||
