Dear Mr. Spicer, Replying to your letter of the 28th, for which I thank you, please note the following: LOCKS. - I note that you have had one finished for the Bentley car and, as you would prefer to bring this with you when you next visit us, will you please arrange accordingly. SUN VISORS - I note that you are dispatching three pieces of board, which I will deal with when they arrive. VENTILATING WINDOW MECHANISM - As the completion of these will decide the date of your next visit, I take it that you will let me know when you propose coming to see me, so that I can be available. DASH VENTILATORS - On the body which we are at present designing we are not making any arrangements for ventilators, but as there is a possibility that womething of this sort may be called for, I thought I should like to have particulars of any that you manufacture, that would be available if required. STAINLESS STEEL GLASS CHANNELS. - Thank you for the drawing giving the dimensions of the channelling. I think you will find that, to make a success of of this particular channelling, it will be necessary for you to arrange so that it can be bent into any required shape, in the same way as the American type of metal channelling which is fabric covered. With kind regards, Yours sincerely, | ||
