Dear Sirs, Referring to your letter of the 14th inst. we have now had an opportunity of investigating the Suspension Springs to Drawing No. R.G.2052 and find that the nearest steel we have in stock is .62" round and .64" round. This material is similar to that from which we have made previous samples and will probably answer your purpose in this case. We shall, of course, be quite willing to make up samples if you require them. Yours faithfully, The Tempered Spring Co., Ltd. H Singleton Works Manager. "Tempered for service" | ||
