BY/Mtn.17/N.1.7.38. c. GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} - Kingsbury. Tin Coated Pistons. ---------- It has been arranged for replacement Pistons to be tin-coated. The tin-coating will be done by The Light Production Co. 60/66, Rochester Road, Westminster, therefore you can send your stock direct to them. It is important you indicate clearly on your advice note, that the Pistons must be returned to Kingsbury in order to prevent them getting mixed with Pistons we send from here. The Pistons should be returned complete with rings. We want the tin coated piston to be used as soon as possible, therefore will you please make the necessary arrangement. The Light Production Co. can deal with 400/500 per week, and we shall be pleased if you will let us know when your stock has been treated. BY/Mtn. [STAMPED: JUL 22 1938] | ||
