| 1015 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/ML. 5.3.40. J.A.Daniells, Esq., Hardy, Spicer & Co.Ltd., Birch Road, Witton, Birmingham. 6. Dear Mr. Daniell, Thank you for the quotation for the Rippletto axle, contained in your letter of the 2nd. March. We usually find it necessary to add 70% to American quotations to allow for duty and transportation charges. Would you consider this to be reasonable? Naturally, it makes the price delivered to our Works less attractive. If you make this axle over here, are you in a position to give me a tentative quotation for the price for which you expect to be able to produce it? Yours sincerely, | ||
