Park Royal, W.3.

Dear Vandervell,

Many thanks for your letter of the 5th instant. Apologies for not replying to this before.

We are going into the question of these rejected bushes with our Production people, and expect to be able to convince them that the imperfections to which they take exception are not prejudicial to the functioning of the product. To do this we are running them on an engine.

Yours sincerely,
