Ltd., Witton, BIRMINGHAM. Dear Mr. Daniell, We are sending you herewith our drawing GCD.1011, which shows the 1350 type joint as fitted to our Wraith chassis. Will you please put in hand three such shafts and let us have them for test as soon as possible. We are wondering whether your Chemist has yet finished investigating the star piece we returned to you, because when you come back to discuss the failure we have some information about our own joint which we think may be useful. Yours sincerely, | ||
