| - 7 - What is the direction of rotation (clockwise or anti-clockwise) of the starter when standing at the starter driving end and looking at the starter ? You will recall that some months ago we submitted to you blue-prints of our drawing No.E-1236 showing a tentative starter layout. The work of preparing a test sample according to this drawing has been held up pending your approval of the layout. This starter was of course to be fitted with the Bijur drive as described above. As mentionned above, I will therefore await instructions from you as to what type of sample we are to ship to you. Delivery will follow with the least possible delay. I trust that the above description of the Bijur drive will be satisfactory. I am ready however to furnish any additional information you may desire, and will be entirely at your service for assisting you in the installation and testing of our apparatus, should you desire such assistance. Awaiting your letter with interest and thanking you in advance I am, Yours faithfully, [Signature] European Representative. Henri Lauer, 2, Rue de la{L. A. Archer} Muette, Paris, France. 5 enclosures. | ||
