| 1021 11th February, 1942. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG.4/ET. C.W. WARD, Esq., Messrs. Park Ward, Ltd., 473 High Road, Willesden, L O N D O N. N.W. 10. Dear Mr. Ward, Herewith cushion and squab spring cases, also maroon leather for 8 H.P. Austin. Will you please have these trimmed. The style is 2" flutes with plain piped borders to both cushion and squab. If the spring cases are covered with needle loom felt or something similar before the leather cases are pulled on, and the ends filled out with a little wool, they will correspond with those that are at present in the car. The padding has to be kept to a minimum as room is restricted. Enclosed is a sketchshowing how the bottom plate of the squab is finished. The Buoyant people, who were going to do the job for us. have lost all their trimmers since they undertook the job, so that they could only supply the spring cases. Yours sincerely, | ||
