Dear Sirs, Your Reference Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swd1.4/JH. We thank you for your letter of August 22nd regarding the Camshaft bearings to your Order No. 63622, and note the first engine is too far advanced to alter the bearings to the same diameter throughout, but that this will be done for subsequent engines. We are therefore arranging to proceed with the sample bearings to the above order, and will let you have delivery at the earliest possible moment. Assuring you of our best attention at all times, Yours faithfully VANDERVELL PRODUCTS LTD. Handwritten notes at bottom: Mr Wallis (O.O.)
