Ltd., 68, Liverpool Road, Trading Estate, S L O U G H, Bucks. Attention Mr. W.P. Riley. Your reference WPR/BKW. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter dated 19th November. With reference to the 7 light pistons you are producing, will you please complete the machining on these. The grinding, we understand, will be elliptical, using the same cam as for the latest "Aero-lite". We wish to revert to this procedure, as we have no machining capacity in our factory at the present time, available for chassis work. Yours faithfully, | ||
