THS/BMM Dear Sirs, BACK PLATES FOR SPRINGS FW.754. We have your favour of the 25th instant in connection with the above, and we note your remarks. The reason the eyes were welded was to enable us to drill the small oil hole, as we found we could not get through the gap in the scarf without welding. We much regret the out of round eye back plate you returned, which was seen by the writer, and special precautions are being taken with the four new plates to ensure satisfaction in this direction. We will send these off to you this week, and we now remain, Yours faithfully, JONAS WOODHEAD & SONS, LTD. J H Saunders DIRECTOR & TECHNICAL ENGR. | ||
