Re Colt Ventilation: Attention Mr Lidsey: Dear Sirs, We have pleasure in advising you that the repaired fan with self-adjusting blades has been returned to you today and we trust that it will reach you without further delay. We have endeavored to get the broken casting repaired by welding; this has not as yet been returned to us. When sending this part for welding we included the part of the belt pulley which is bolted to the fan. As we do not wish to keep you waiting we have dispatched the fan alone to you and trust that you can bolt it to another pulley for further test. The repaired fan has been tested up to 4500 revs. i.e. 1500 revs in excess of the maximum required. We trust therefor that you will find it satisfactory and meeting your requirements. Your early observations and views will be appreciated. With compliments, Yours faithfully, COLT VENTILATION, Ltd. [Signature] [STAMP: NATIONAL SCHEME FOR DISABLED MEN] | ||
