Have you received my telex with a request for spare parts? - Yes, I have. The spare parts will be delivered tomorrow morning. Does it suit you? - It suits me perfectly. And what about the servomotor? - I've got to tell you that we haven't been able to supply the servomotor you need. The servomotors you want are not in stock just now. - Could you ask the shipchandler to find another suitable servomotor? And please have him come on board tomorrow morning. I've got some problems to settle. - O.K. See you later. * * * - Morning, Shipchandler! - Morning, Chief. I've brought you the catalogue. - Thank you. Have you found a suitable servomotor? - Unfortunately. I haven't. But we expect the servomotor you need to be supplied in 2 days time. How long are you going to stay in our port? - Two days only. You won't have time enough to arrange for delivery - We could arrange for the delivery during your next call at our port - Then that's settled. By the way. could you supply electrodes? - What kind of electrodes? - Ignition electrodes. - How many pieces do you need? - I'd like to get 4 pairs of electrodes. - It's possible if the price suits you. The prices have changed you know. - How much do you charge for a pair? - Here is the price list. - Why, it's much too expensive. We used to pay much less for the same. Do you grant a discount? - Sorry, We've got fixed prices.But we guarantee the high quality of the spares we supply. - I'll think it over. - Anything else. Chief? - I've looked through the catalogue and there isn't a spare I need. I'd better phone the engineer of the watch and ask him to bring you a sample.
