| 1021 30th April, 1941. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/BAG.3/LT. A.{Mr Adams} Roberts, Esq., Messrs. A.{Mr Adams} Roberts & Sons Ltd., Deykin Avenue, Witton, B I R M I N G H A M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Dear Mr. Roberts, I have asked our Purchase Department to send you an order for 20 feet of drain tubing, ½" inside diameter, quality 188, as the sample which you sent to us. We have been discussing draught excluders for pedals. I am wondering if you have a print or anything that I can shew to the people concerned, so that they understand fully what I am talking about. I know that, a few years ago, you made one for us at the Standard Motor Company. Since that time, I have seen what I consider to be an improved type. The excluders are smalled and are made of thinner rubber. If, however, you can let me have particulars of anything you have manufactured, I shall be obliged. Yours sincerely, | ||
