Dear Sirs, Further to the conversation we had when you were at our Factory a few days ago, we are pleased to inform you that we are sending you under separate cover labelled for your attention, a number of the flat plate type of engine mounting in which you were interested. As we explained to you most of these are made to the order of other Manufacturers who have paid for the necessary mould equipment, and we could not supply the same type mountings to you without permission. No doubt, however, these samples will give you ideas regarding the development of a similar type of mounting. In the course of the next day or so we will let you have the price of the Bumper you were enquiring about. Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of FIRESTONE TYRE & RUBBER COMPANY LIMITED.
