Saturday, 12th September, 1936. Dear Sirs, We are in receipt of your favour of the 10th instant, reference as above, in regard to the eccentricity of the Rollers which we are supplying. In reply we would say that the limit specified on our drawing is in line with the limit specified by our American Company who, as you know, are turning this type of Gear out in very large numbers, and the limit presumably has been found to be adequate. We will, however, do our utmost to improve on this, and we think it possible we can to some extent. Assuring you of our best attention at all times, We are, Yours faithfully, for ADAMANT ENGINEERING COMPANY, LIMITED.
