We thank you for yours of yesterday's date Ref: Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring}S/KW, regarding the question of Jack Brackets. As we had not had the pleasure of hearing from you in reply to ours of the 4th, we experimented with a new form of bracket which is even more satisfactory than that proposed in our earlier communication in that it does not interfere with your existing arrangements. Samples are being made up at once and will be available with the new Jacks when we have the pleasure of fitting the latter. Thanking you for your sympathetic consideration. Yours faithfully, For S.SMITH & SONS (MOTOR ACCESSORIES) LD. [Signature] SALES DIRECTOR | ||
