F. {Mr Friese} H. {Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Royce, Esqr.,

Dear Mr. Royce,

The enclosed hand book on Gear Planers will,
I am sure, be of interest to you.

I have been in touch with Parkinsons and am
informed they are finishing a number 19 machine for
shipment next week. I propose to go and see this.

They require six weeks for delivery of a
number 19 machine.

They build all sizes regularly for stock and
would give us an option on the next number 19 to be
finished; but this option would not take precedence
of a firm order coming in, so that it is probably not
worth much. We will, however, take what advantage we
can of it.

Yours faithfully,

[Signature]
