Dear Sirs, We beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 5th. and regret to say there is no possibility of the instrument being ready "in the near future". Our capacity for these machines is limited by reason of the non-arrival of oft-promised tools which have been diverted to aircraft work. Aero engine makers must therefore wait for the Indicators until we are able to do the machining. Yours faithfully, G.Cussons, Ltd., (Signed) Geo.W.Cusson. | ||
