Dear Sirs, We have to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 12th instant relative to the Driving Plate Assemblies returned under your Advice Note.WG{Mr Gill - Financial Director}/F.36337 and have noted your remarks. As these Assemblies were originally supplied for experimental purposes it was found necessary to fit new hubs in addition to relining to bring up to standard specification, which renders the proposition uneconomical. In view of these circumstances we would suggest that the material be scrapped and await your further remarks in this connection. Yours faithfully. BORG & BECK COMPANY LIMITED.
