A week had passed since the verdict was delivered in favor of the Axelsen & Nielsen Air Brake Company. Poul Nielsen was seated in his office, surrounded by his clients whom they had almost lost to the New York Air Brake Company. He addressed them, holding their attention with his words.
"As you can see from the news, we are the legitimate inventors of the air brake system and the ones from the New York Air Brake Company are nothing more than an imitation. Of course, I have no hard feelings for all of you, in fact, it was an eye-opener for us that we had not been flexible with our deals," Poul said, waving his hand. "And for that, we have decided to give you all fifteen percent discounts on our product. Of course, the contracts that we signed are still in effect, but should you need more air brakes, especially when the government started mandating it, you'll get the air brake with the same quality at a cheaper cost."
