We attach hereto copy of letter received from Messrs.Hoffmann Ltd., relating to the six rear axle pinion bearings as supplied to us some time ago. This letter is the result of our asking them to test one of the new type bearings against the present production type. As the Hoffmann Co. are apparently not satisfied with the bearing they have sent us and request for any we may have to be returned. Will you please arrange for the five which we understand you have in your Stores to be returned. BY/Mtn. | ||
