Dear Sirs, As the writer was unable to call at your works yesterday, he took the liberty of telephoning you with the result that it was agreed he should contact with you again next week after we have had an opportunity of carefully examining the portable jack which has failed, and also the jack reported defective after being removed from Sir John Leigh's car. We understand that both of these jacks have been labelled for the writer's personal attention. The writer also understands that on his next visit you would like to discuss future designs and development in connection with permanently fitted hydraulic jacks, and he will make a point of communicating with you in the very near future. Yours faithfully, For DONALD SESSIONS & COMPANY LIMITED. Donald Sessions Director & General Manager. DWS/IKS | ||
