| C O P Y. F. {Mr Friese} C. Cottrell & Co., 15th November 1923. Dear Sirs, re. I.F. Type S -359. We are in receipt of your letter of the 14th inst., and wrote you yesterday morning informing you that we had the parts in stock. If the parts are faulty they will certainly be replaced under the guarantee, but we are certain when you see same you will agree that it would be impossible for such a thing to happen by reasonable handling. We would like to mention that if the car is at a private garage or an ordinary garage, it will be impossible for them to carry out the work required, as the pinion on the cardan shaft is put in under great pressure, and this has to be put in a very powerful press to be removed. Yours faithfully, | ||
