We have examined the No.7. 'Compact' Pump which you have sent us, have also made a test with it and we quite agree to its standardisation in place of the 'Kismet' We should like to keep the sample for a few days after the holidays to shew to the Coachbuilders from the point of view of accommodation but before doing this, should like to have an idea as to how soon this Pump is likely to be coming through on Chassis. This naturally depends on your existing stock and committments for the 'Kismet' Pump. P.S. It would be convenient if memos on matters of the above description could be sent to me as I really have to deal with them. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
