Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 27th. instant, instructing us to make for trial, twenty-four Valve springs to Drg. EB 175, from our special quality Swedish Valve Spring Wire. As it will be some considerable time before we can relieve machines from production, we propose to make these particular samples by hand, and forward them along to you in the course of a few days. These will enable you to carry out your tests, which we are quite sure will compare very successfully with the results obtained from Chrome Vanadium Steel. The matter will receive our very best attention Yours faithfully, The Tempered Spring Co., Ltd. Robt J Thompson Director. * Amended to RM. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 53. | ||
