Dear Sirs, In reply to your letter of the 14th.inst. We have had no experience whatever with 'RECTASKID'. We are unable to comprehend how the principles involved in this invention can fundamentally affect the dynamic principles involved when a skid takes place. Apart from this, we are unable to express any opinion as to the practical merits or demerits of the idea. Yours faithfully, | ||
