| For Bentley. F.{Mr Friese} H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Royce, Esqr., C/o Mr. Walter Aubin, Tydd St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} Giles, Wisbech. Third August 1927 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] C/EB | ||
