| 704 12th May, 1941. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG.12/LT. Messrs. Chapman Ltd., Ranelagh Gardens, Hurlingham, LONDON S.W. 6 Dear Sirs, We thank you for the sample seat fittings, of which we consider the Line Contact type to be the most suitable. We believe that this is shown on your sheet of slide sections as Mark 27 tubular. The most suitable type of lever will be your L.69. We should, however, like the top slide to be 16 1/2" long and the bottom slide 18". The cut away portion in the bottom slide for re-moving the seat to the same distance from the front end as your sample, i.e. cut away portion will be increased 2". We should be glad to know if you can supply fittings to the above lengths. Yours faithfully, | ||
