In reply to your verbal request for costs of footswitch and petrol Pump Switch, we have superficially investigated same. The foot switch to R.R. Scheme 998 would show a saving in factory cost of approximately 1s. 6d. compared with the present standard foot switch. We are of the opinion that the switch for Petrol Pump R.R. scheme 1012 would be produced at R.R. for a factory cost of about 8s. 6d. We return herewith R.R. scheme 998 and 1012. G/Rb.{R.
