      – Glad to meet you, Mr. Nikolaev. What can I help for you?
      – Could your shipyard undertake some repairs as soon as possible?
      – I hope. First let me have a look at the list of repairs to be made.
      – Here you are. But I can explain to you all necessary particulars.
      – O.K. What do you want us to do?
      – We want you to carry out the following repairs to our turbogenerator. First, the tur-
bine casing is to be open up and Curtis wheel to be removed and replaced. The turbine rotor to
be overhauled, balanced and made workable. Second, the reduction gear casing is to be opened
up, and the gearing to be examined for pitting and broken teeth. Intact teeth are to be inspected
and tested for the presence of cracks.
      – That's clear. Anything else?
      – Then we want to have two roller bearings supplied and fitted into position.
      – Don't worry. Everything will be O.K. How long are you staying in our port accord-
ing to your sailing schedule?
      – For a week. And I'd like to know about the changes in prices for items to be repaired,
if any.
      – Yes, there are some. Here is a list. Have a look.
      – Oh, your prices are raising daily.
      – We are sorry, but we can't help that. And if our conditions suit you let's fix the date.
