M/9673 (handwritten) Dear Sirs, We are enclosing samples of Contact Screws:- 1st marked "Normal" (our ordinary quality), which, however, are not guaranteed beyond 900 revolutions per minute. We also enclose some special quality screws, which our Works claim are a perfect substitute for platinum and should meet every possible requirement. 2oels (handwritten) The first are 2/6d each, and the special quality ones are 4/6d each. This includes the Import Duty. 3sels (handwritten) Our Works strongly advise you to have the best quality, as there is no fear of your having any complaints. On the samples, the Works have put no screw thread. You no doubt will be able to easily do this, and in the case of an order, they can execute it in any thread that you specify. Hoping that you will be quite satisfied with the quality of these, and be able to favour us with your orders, We are, Dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, C. Melin & Co (signature) Enclosure (red sticker) (Onslow recd 7/7/22) (handwritten) | ||
