Dear Burton, Thank you for your letter of the 27th January, together with criticisms of the Ford V.8. winch. We are now carrying out preliminary design investigations, and will send you a design when it is complete for your criticisms. Will you please let us know what size of cable you would like to use with the Phantom III engine. If you would let us have a sample of this cable, it would help us. Yours faithfully, | ||
