I am provisionally keeping Wednesday Feb: 28th. for your visit. We are very much indebted to you for sending the gearbox on by passenger train. If you have any drawings of it would it be possible for us to have a look at them to get a line up on the limits without a lot of measurements. Can we have particulars of the two-speed marine box on which you have a patent. Yours sincerely, | ||
