Dear Sirs, Moscow, 20th October,20...

We acknowledge with thanks receipt of your enquiry of the 16th October for Grinding Machines Model TM-100 shown to your repre­sentatives in St.Petersburg and are glad to learn that in your opinion there should be a good demand for such machines in the U.K.

We regret, however, to advise you that these machines are not yet available for sale. As you are aware, this model represents a new design and before being put on the market is undergoing final service tests at a number of engineering plants in this country. We believe that the results of the tests will have been summarized by the end of this year. As soon as the machine is available for sale, we shall not fail to revert to your enquiry.

Meantime we remain,

Yours faithfully,
