Denton & Stone Ltd., Bracebridge Street, Birmingham, Dear Sirs, For the attention of E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Milner Esq. We thank you for the sample of Enots fittings you have been good enough to prepare. In general we should say they were neat and effective, and the only objection is, as you surmise, the appearance of the rear axle fitting. We have however, decided to alter the diameter of the tapping hole, increasing it from .312 to .375, and trust you may be able to get in the non-return valve. We enclose blue prints of the revised fittings, and no doubt you will be hearing from our Production Dept. shortly. G.53867 is now G.53803 almost as your revision G.53802 is the rear-axle fitting in place of G.77018. The cap G.53868 fits to both of these. Yours faithfully, | ||
