Dear Sirs, Since the visit of the undersigned we have been going carefully into the question of a design of an experimental System for fitting to the Bentley Car which you were kind enough to allow us to measure up. We have all the information completed, but are held up awaiting a length of square section Molybdenum tube. Unfortunately this is not a stock size, and they state that the delay has been unavoidable owing to other work having previously been promised priority at the Mills. You can rest assured, however, that we shall do everything possible to expedite this work, and assoon as we have this Set ready the Writer will communicate with you with regard to fitting. Regretting this delay and assuring you of our co-operation. We are, Yours faithfully, p.p. THE BRITISH TOOL & ENGINEERING CO. LTD. Walter C. Evans Director. | ||
