| 1021 28th April, 1941. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG.15/ST.{Capt. P. R. Strong} Messrs. Jackson's Millboard & Fibre Coy., BOURNE END, Bucks. Dear Sirs, Will you please send us a range of samples of embossed and plain millboard, suitable for use on luggage boots and as door lining boards, etc.. We should also be requiring some millboard tacking strips for use in an all steel body. Will you kindly let us know what thickness you could supply these in and whether you have standard sizes or make it a practice to cut to the size required. At present we shall only need sufficient material for a sample body. We will advise you later of the quantities we require. We shall also need a pair of pressed millboard backs for front seats, and would be interested to know if you undertake this work or if we shall have to apply to Messrs. Burns Ltd., of Shadwell Heath. Yours faithfully, | ||
