Dear Sirs, JACKALLS. The writer was very pleased to learn during his visit to your Works yesterday that you will be sending along a Bentley chassis next week for Jackall installation. The pair of double-acting jacks which have been prepared in accordance with your wishes are practically ready for delivery. We think you will agree, upon inspection, that we have made a very satisfactory job of same. Perhaps you will kindly let us know when it will be convenient to effect the exchange. We assume it is your wish to have these jacks fitted to your Phantom II? May we explain that, due to the larger area of this new jack, we consider it necessary to employ a modified control box. The latter will take a few days to prepare and it should be available for installation on your car in approximately a week's time. Thanking you for your courtesy during the writer's visit. Yours faithfully, For S. SMITH & SONS (MOTOR ACCESSORIES) LD. [Signature] SALES DIRECTOR | ||
