Dear Sirs, BENTLEY TYPE "A" STABILISING BUMPER. Confirming our telephonic conversation of this afternoon, we are sending you herewith sections of the upper and lower portion of the Bumper End Cap, showing the centres which we have to incorporate in order to carry out the grinding operation for the portion of the stem which fits the Distance Piece. We feel that this machining is quite satisfactory and does not in any way seriously affect the strength of the components, but we should just like your views on the matter before we go too far. Yours faithfully, for WILMOT-BREEDEN LTD., (R.P.Turner.) ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT. NATIONAL SCHEME FOR DISABLED MEN LOGO LARGEST MANUFACTURERS OF BUMPERS IN EUROPE | ||
