Dear Sirs, We beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 22nd inst., and also returned expander unit. We have examined this and are in agreement with your remarks that the locating slot should be slightly wider. We are accordingly proceeding to modify the plungers and will return to you as quickly as possible. Regarding the limiting of dimensions, we suggest that if the .496" dimension is deleted and a limited dimension added from the edge of the 9º slot to the locating slot would be preferable. We enclose a revised print showing this suggestion on which we should be glad to have your further comments. Yours faithfully, for NEW-HUDSON LIMITED., Alex Fraser GENERAL MANAGER. Enclos. P.T.O. | ||
