Butler Machine Tool Company and Ex-Cell-O Corporation were two influential American manufacturing companies that operated during the 20th century. Both companies were known for producing high-quality machine tools, which are precision machines that are used to shape and form metal and other materials.
Butler Machine Tool Company was founded in 1946 by William E. Butler in Cleveland, Ohio. The company quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality lathes, milling machines, and other machine tools. Butler Machine Tool Company was known for its innovation and attention to detail, and it became a leader in the machine tool industry.
Ex-Cell-O Corporation, on the other hand, was founded in 1934 by John W. Hinsdale and William J. Smith in Detroit, Michigan. The company initially focused on producing metalworking machinery, including lathes, drill presses, and grinding machines. In the 1950s, Ex-Cell-O Corporation expanded its product line to include computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools, which are highly precise machines that are controlled by computers. Ex-Cell-O Corporation became a pioneer in the development of CNC technology and was known for producing some of the most advanced machine tools in the industry.
Both Butler Machine Tool Company and Ex-Cell-O Corporation were major players in the American machine tool industry for many years. They both had a strong commitment to innovation and quality, and they were both known for producing some of the best machine tools in the world. However, the companies had different histories and approaches to the machine tool industry. Butler Machine Tool Company was a smaller, privately-held company that focused on producing a wide range of machine tools, while Ex-Cell-O Corporation was a larger, publicly-traded company that specialized in producing CNC machine tools.
In the end, both Butler Machine Tool Company and Ex-Cell-O Corporation made significant contributions to the machine tool industry and left a lasting legacy in the field. Their high-quality products and innovative approaches to manufacturing helped shape the modern machine tool industry and set the standard for excellence in the field.

At that date it was a fixed price contract without a price escalation clause. On June 5, 1969, the sellers wrote this letter to the buyers: "We have pleasure in acknowledging receipt of your official order dated May 27 covering the supply of one Butler Double Column Plane-Miller. The position then was, when the sellers received the buyers' offer of May 27, that that was an offer open to them to accept or reject. RATIO: A reply to an offer which purports to be an acceptance but which contains terms materially different from those originally set out in offer, shall amount to counter offer, which when duly acknowledged and accepted by the offeror shall amount to acceptance of the counter offer, and, shall bind him with the terms set out in the counter offer.

At the bottom of this slip it read, "We accept your order on the terms and conditions stated therein" however Butler added a letter reasserting that the price was being entered in accordance with the sellers quotation from the May 23 letter.

By letter dated June 5, 1969, the sales office manager at the plaintiffs' Halifax factory completed that tear-off slip and sent it back to the buyers.

He thought that the buyers would not "browse over the conditions" of the sellers: and then, by printed words in their the buyers' document, trap the sellers into a fixed price contract.

Atomic Power Constructions Ltd. These terms and conditions shall prevail over any terms and conditions in the buyer's order. If those documents are analysed in our traditional method, the result would seem to me to be this: the quotation of May 23, 1969, was an offer by the sellers to the buyers containing the terms and conditions on the back. On the 27th of May Ex-Cell-O placed an order for the machine at the stated price with their own terms. A while later, nothing further had been said, and Butler delivered the machinery. Held: The offer to sell the machine on terms provided by Butler was destroyed by the counter offer made by Ex-Cell-O. It makes it clear that the contract was on the buyers' terms and not on the sellers' terms: and the buyers' terms did not include a price variation clause.

But on any view, at its highest, the language is equivocal and wholly ineffective to override the plain and unequivocal terms of the printed acknowledgment of order which was enclosed with the letter of June 5. It cannot be said that the buyers accepted the counter-offer by reason of the fact that ultimately they took physical delivery of the machine. Ex-Cell-O refused to pay. On the 23rd of May 1969 the plaintiff responded to an inquiry from Ex-Cell-O by offering a quotation of £74,535 worth of goods. Amongst the buyers' proposed conditions are conditions that the price of the goods shall include the cost of delivery to the buyers' premises; that the buyers shall be entitled to cancel for any delay in delivery; and a condition giving the buyers a right to reject if on inspection the goods are found to be faulty in any respect.
