Delco-Remy & Hyatt Ltd., 111, Grosvenor Road, London, S.W.1. Dear Kennington, Thank you very much for your quotation on the Delco of the 6th October, reference GKD/HM.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} The only suggestion I have to offer is that you give a limit on the distributor ignition advance curve which you can hold on production. I anticipate that in the immediate future you will be receiving a request from the Buying Department to submit a quotation to them, and suggest that they will find the figures you have given me quite satisfactory. I am not handing the figures you have given me to the Purchasing Dept., as I would rather they dealt with the matter themselves. I always avoid being officially mixed up in price discussions as far as possible. Yours sincerely, | ||
