Gentlemen, Ref Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}/Ms14/FJ7.4.21. Your favour of the 7th.inst duly to hand enclosing an illustration of the "Alemite" Grease Gun. We can make exactly this pattern if you wish it though we take it from your remarks, that the principle alteration you desire is in the method of connection to the lubricator this of course you will understand will necessitate an alteration in your Lubricator, do you propose to make this alteration or do you require a fitting made to screw on to the Lubricator as a permanent fixture. We can of course fit the bayonet joint connection to the type of pump supplied to you if that will meet your requirements. If you should send us the "Alemite" connection we can make it identical for you. Our Mr. Percy proposes calling either Friday afternoon on his way from London, if he has done so possibly he will be able to give you some further information, or on the other hand, he will call and see you on Monday unless conditions on the Railway prevent it. Trusting to be favoured with your esteemed commands which shall have our best attention at all times. We remain, Yours faithfully Ernest H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Hill Ltd., sgd.
