Allen & Simmonds Ltd., Thames Side Engineering Works, Reading, Berks' X.1105 Dear Sirs, With reference to the interview we had with your Mr. G.F. Craven. We attach herewith blue-print of our present piston. We trust this will give you all the particulars you require. The point we wish to know is whether you consider the castings suitable for you to fit your type of rings to. On receipt of this information we will despatch to you a set of castings. We could carry out all the operations on the pistons except those necessary for fitting the rings. Yours faithfully, | ||
