| 1300 Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /FJH {Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} 21/ER 15th February, 1939. Messrs. The Hoffmann Manufacturing Co. Ltd., Chelmsford, Essex. Dear Sirs, Re: your letter ref: JB/DH. {D. Henderson - Showroom} We thank you for your letter of the 10th inst., reference as above. The spring clip, our Part No. F 89830, is an entirely new part as far as we are aware. We are unable to supply this part, and we suggest that you should try Messrs. Geo. Salter of Castle-Bromwich. We are quite willing to accept the three sample rollers without spring rings, but would require them on production deliveries. Yours faithfully, | ||
