George was an independent salesman,working sales territories in which various manufacturers did not maintain sales agents.Prior to a trip to northern Manitoba,George informed a manufacturer of small electrical generators he expected to secure an order for 50 generators on this trip.From a more remote community,George was able to send a fax to the manufacturer that,when received,read "Send by air immediately the generators.Must be here by next Thursday." The fax should have read,"three generators" and the mistake was made solely by the fax office.The manufacturer sent 50 generators.Aside from the fact that one of the parties may have a remedy against the fax office,discuss the relevant principles of contract raised here,and determine whether there was no contract,a contract for three generators,or a contract for 50 generators.
