BMM Dear Sirs, SPRINGS TO DRAWING F.W.1352. We are in receipt of your letter of the 4th November, and thank you for the order for six pairs of springs to the above drawing. We have noted your special requirements in this connection, which will have our careful attention. We also note that you would like Mr. Sanders to pay you a visit in order to discuss these springs with Mr.Bailey and Mr.Robotham, but we are afraid that this could not be arranged until the week after next, as he is in attendance at our Stand at the Commercial Vehicle Show. However, as Mr.Leslie will also be at the Show, Mr.Sanders will no doubt have an opportunity of seeing him, and of going into the matter thoroughly. As soon as the various points in connection with these springs have been settled, we shall have pleasure in submitting our quotation for 400 springs of this type, and meanwhile we remain, Yours faithfully, JONAS WOODHEAD & SONS, LTD. | ||
