SPRING REBOUND PLATES. ------------------------------- We thank you for your favour of yesterday re the above, and we enclose herewith photos, showing the fitting of rebound plates, which we invariably arrange in conjunction with our special Clip. We have made many hundreds of private car Springs of the types shown, with varying numbers of rebound plates. In the present instance, we gather you wish one plate only, and this to be fitted to the Springs FB-22-26, of 750 and 800 lbs. These are now only 5 plates, so do you wish 4 plates plus 1 rebound, or the 5 plates plus 1 rebound? In the latter case, we shall diminish the present thickness so as to retain the present rate of flexibility. We await your valued instructions, and remain, Yours faithfully, JONAS WOODHEAD & SONS, LTD. | ||
