For the attention of Experimental Department. Dear Sirs, We are in receipt of your letter of the 9th instant. Cam M.22638. We have pleasure in advising that two cams to this detail are in stock, but the end cones were ground after hardening. We are arranging to forward these along to you and trust you will agree to accept. As requested, we enclose print of our drawing M.22638. With regard to the supply of two cams as above but opposite hand of the spiral and conforming to your print RF.893, we shall be only too pleased to assist you in putting two of these through, but, due to the extreme volume of Government work on hand it is not possible to give firm promise for delivery, but we will use our best endeavours to complete and despatch to you as quickly as ever possible. We have, therefore, booked your order for two such, and await receipt of your official order for these in due course. We are, Yours faithfully, for ADAMANT ENGINEERING COMPANY, LIMITED. [Signature] Sales Manager. Encl: Blue Print M.22638. | ||
