Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr.Robotham. We thank you for your communication of the 2nd, and are pleased to advise you that castings are now in our possession from heat treatment, which would suggest that our difficulties with regard to contraction allowances and other matters have been successfully overcome, so that we are commencing machining right away, and if the castings prove to be sound, we expect to be able to post these to you on Thursday night, so that they should be in your possession next Friday morning, the 8th. Trusting this will be in time for your requirements, We are, Yours faithfully, pp THE LIGHT PRODUCTION CO.LTD. [Signature] GENERAL MANAGER. | ||
