Engineer}6/AP.29.1.37. BENTLEY BUMPER BAR LEAD WEIGHTS. Messrs Wilmot Breedon recently quoted an increase in price of 2/6d. for supplying lead weights containing 8% antimony. We considered this increase to be excessive, and took the matter up with them. They eventually agreed to send us a revised quotation, which we have now received. The price increase has been reduced from 2/6d. to 4d. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} | ||
