| Detroit Athletic Club Detroit ③ I really feel extremely grateful to you for making my visit here possible, we enjoyed every minute. people here are so hospitable I have had no difficulty to get anywhere, although Allison's at first were a bit tough, left them however on a very friendly basis, and arrangements were made whereby we will be kept informed of bearing development X Today we spent a most interesting day in Plymouth plant, got in touch with Cincinnati Milling machine representative, who has free access & went round manufacturing operations in detail, it is really amazing to see some of ops & what they are cost, whilst we cannot expect to introduce similar methods producing our product, much could be done to improve present | ||
