Dear Sirs, We thank you for yours of 15th inst. in connection with the Propeller Shafts for the Phantom 3. The drawing which we have sent to you is with rectangular flanges which we are proposing to change to the circular type. Unfortunately however, this change will not be effected for a short while and we hope that you will accept the first few with the rectangular type until the position is eased and that we can then supply you with the circular type as originally suggested. Yours faithfully, p.p. HARDY, SPICER & CO. LIMITED. [Signature] Chief Draughtsman. MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL UNION OF MANUFACTURERS INCORPORATED ALL COMMUNICATIONS TO BE ADDRESSED TO THE COMPANY.
