Bowring} Dear Mr.Bowering, Thanks for yours of the 22nd and we will make arrangements to deliver the castings for treatment to you. I am sorry that you have had a complaint of flooding and trust that this is only an isolated instance. As regards the drop of the needle fork, we have taken particular care that the needle does not jam under these conditions. I will, however, look through the number we have to see if it is at all possible. Of course, the thin flash inside the covers should not have been left in and I am taking immediate steps to prevent it happening again. I shall be interested to hear the cause of the sticking diaphragm on the pump. Yours sincerely, T. Skinner ENGINEERING AND ALLIED EMPLOYERS NATIONAL FEDERATION | ||
