| R.P.81 S. SMITH & SONS (Motor Accessories) LTD. CRICKLEWOOD WORKS, LONDON, N.W.2. CONTINUATION NO. 1. W. A. {Mr Adams} Robotham, Esq. 6th January 1938. Might I explain that largely as a result of my recent conversation with you we have been exploring the possibilities of cheapening our design without, of course, impairing efficiency, and I am pleased to state that we have been able to effect savings. Furthermore, we have modified the design so that a new element can be fitted easily and quickly. I would appreciate it exceedingly if you would very kindly let me have your reaction and if necessary I will arrange for Mr. Grose to visit you at your convenience. Meanwhile, I have pleasure in enclosing herewith one of our filter booklets, also copy of a letter which Messrs. Scammell sent us as a result of their experience. The letters from General Filters Inc. which you kindly loaned us are returned herewith. Sincerely yours, [Signature: Charles Whatmough] Encs. | ||
