Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.9/MJ OUR REF. WOK/PG 23rd January... 1936 SUBJECT Dear Mr. West, Thank you for your letter of the 20th January in connection with the further three distributors which we have recently sent you and which we now presume are being put through their paces. With reference to the approximate cost of these distributors, we have looked into the costs, and, whilst it is a bit early to give you a precise price, since we have not had an opportunity to investigate everything on the basis of 200, we consider that we should be able to supply these to your Company at an approximate price of 37/6d. for the distributor of the same specification as the three distributors just supplied. We are giving you this somewhat hastily made quotation as you point out in your second paragraph that you desire to put the matter up to your Management as quickly as possible. Yours sincerely, [Signature] Managing Director. | ||
