CLUTCH. ----------------- Referring to your memo E1/Ms/30. 5. 22. in which you ask us to send you three springs G.50468, kindly note we shall not be able to send these until the present Lockout is settled as we have none in stock. We are writing Salters, however, to see if they have any springs in stock similar to ours, and the same poundage, and if so we will order a few of these to tide you over until our own are available. It should be understood, however, that Salters' springs would not be made from Chrome Vanadium Steel, like ours. BY/Mtn. | ||
