OUR REF. CWW/MP 3rd. April, 1939. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. For the attention of Mr. Harvey Bailey. Dear Sirs, Re. Tenax Fasteners. We enclose herewith a Tenax fastener which is one of the type recently supplied for securing the dash carpet, and you will observe that the serrations do not permit of a suitable grip being obtained to keep the fastener intact when withdrawing it from the male portion. To illustrate our requirements we are enclosing one of the fasteners we ourselves supply from which you will observe that the plate is secured in position by means of alternate serrations which are clipped over to obtain a grip. We should be glad if you would kindly arrange to supply similar fasteners to our own pattern in future. Yours faithfully, for PARK WARD & CO. LTD. DIRECTOR. Enc. Fastener. | ||
