Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. C.T. Salt. We thank you for your letter of the 27th ultimo reference as above, concerning Piston EW.2170. We note your anxiety to get hold of the first six of these Pistons and you may rely on us doing what we can to improve our estimate. We shall have the corebox finished on Wednesday, so that if everything goes well and the dimensions of the resulting castings are correct, we might possibly get a set through by the 12th instant. At any rate we will work with this object in view, and we trust this will be satisfactory from your point of view. Yours faithfully, FOR THE LIGHT PRODUCTION CO.LTD. C H B Brooks. GENERAL MANAGER. | ||
