| 1021 27th March, 1941. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG.7/ET. Messrs. Small & Parkes Ltd., Hendham Vale Works, MANCHESTER, 9. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter and sample of 1 inch bonnet tape. Since writing you, we have made certain modifications in design, which necessitate the tape being curved edgeways. This will tend to cause puckering, so that we have decided that it will be necessary to use a narrower tape. We should be glad to know if you have any that is 3/4" wide and, if so, will you kindly post us a short sample. Yours faithfully, | ||
