B/201/19
Gentlemen,
We beg to forward herewith the tender of the
Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company for the four Wireleas
Stations at Hong Kong, Singapore, Penang, Mombasa, with
the draft Contract.
You will note that the Company quote an F.0.B.
price and the charge for an Engineer to supervise the
erection, and the drait contract is arranged accordingly.
With regard to the quotations, these are higher
than those sent in last year and the difference is
approximately £500 per station; but we assume that if
the freight is undertaken by you, there will be a saving
on this sum.
We do not think that any lower quotations
could be obtained elsewhere.
We would draw your attention to certain
alterations in the Contract, as drawn up for the Anglo- French Company, in Clauses 4 and 18 or the General Conditions, and Clause 4,8,10,11 and 12 or the Special Conditions; also the omission of Clause 9 of the Special
Conditions. These alterations were requested by the
Company,
and we consider them to be quite reasonable,
We are &c.
(Sd) Preece Cardew & Snell.
