Your Ref. Our Ref. GAH/LL. EXPERIMENTAL DEPT. For the attention of Mr. Child. Dear Sirs, We have pleasure in attaching our Acceptance of your telephone order of yesterday for two Car Radio Units Type 128C and two Running Board Aerials, and we have pleasure in confirming that, as promised in our telegram, one of these Units was despatched to you yesterday by passenger train and the second Unit will follow tomorrow. In view of the fact that the Units with which we supply you are non-standard in respect of the control head and tonal response, it would be very helpful to us if you could give us as much notice of your requirements as is possible, or alternatively if you could place a firm order with us for a quantity of these units to be taken over an agreed period, under which circumstances we would be prepared to carry a minimum stock here so that we could give immediate attention to your requirements at all times. Yours faithfully, FERRANTI LTD. C.A. Hall Car Radio Sales & Production Manager. | ||
