Dear Sirs: TURBINE Flexible Cable Controls. We have to thank you for your letter of the 27th inst., and would say that if you would send us a sketch giving details of the control that you wish to test out, we shall be very pleased to make you some test specimens from the material which you saw on our stand at Olympia. We would state that it is almost impossible to successfully standardise end fittings either on tubes or inner controls, as nearly every manufacturer demands something slightly different. However, if you will be good enough to give us details of your requirements we shall be only too pleased to make up some satisfactory samples. Assuring you of our most careful attention, We are, dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, for BRITISH WIRE PRODUCTS LTD. N.K. BENNETT. | ||
