Dear Mr Robotham:

Thank you for your letter of the 7th instant.

By all means send one of your Production Engineers to see our system of sand blasting.

While we are by no means satisfied with our latest production methods on cyanided gears, you are at liberty to send anybody to see what we are doing in case they find it interesting.

Yours sincerely

FORD MOTOR COMPANY LIMITED
