File Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 4th inst. in connection with D.W.S. Power Jacks and the Phantom 3 chassis. We note you are fitting up a chassis for the purpose of testing the rams only, until the other part of the system is ready. We are forwarding immediately 12 1/4" olives and nuts to suit. With regard to the make of fluid which should be used, at the moment we consider only genuine Lockheed fluid, specification No. 5 Special, should be used. We have other types of fluid on test which may prove as good or even better than the Lockheed, but at the moment we have not sufficient data to recommend your test to be carried out with these. ordered Yours faithfully, For DONALD SESSIONS & COMPANY LIMITED.
