Dear Sirs, FOR THE ATTENTION OF MR.A.F.MARTINDALE. We thank you for yours of the 1st inst, and are very pleased to note that you are interested in our Spring Interlay for your Bentley car. We find that it is only necessary to slightly elongate the hole in the clip to allow for the increased thickness due to the Interlay. We should, if it is not too much trouble to your goodselves, like to fit the Interlay ourselves, but otherwise we should be only too pleased to submit the Interlay to you in the necessary strips suitable for fitting, as required. May we have a further letter from you confirming that you are either sending the springs to us, or prefer the Interlay being submitted in the necessary strips. Assuring you of our best attention at all times, we remain, Yours faithfully, RICHARD KLINGER LIMITED. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Davies for Managing Director. | ||
