Man: We’ve been working on this new circuit for a long time and we’re sure that it’s ready for production now. As you know, it took a while to find a solution to the problems we had with the old circuit. The diagrams on the second page’ ll give you a rough idea of how it works and what’s different about it. I’ll explain the ideas behind it in a minute, and then I’ll hand over to Mark for any questions about manufacturing costs, and then maybe we can agree on a start date for production.

Man: Hello, it’s Paul Fields, here. We spoke yesterday. I’m calling about the forms you filled in for the loan. They arrived this morning but there are some more figures that I’ll need before we can do anything. Your company’s projected figures only cover next year, but we’ll need them for three years. The rest is fine.., so if you could get those to me in the next week, then once our legal people have checked everything out, I’ll be able to authorise the loan.
