Dear Sirs,

Your ref: TK/OA.

We thank you for your letter dated 3rd July, and are glad to hear that you have the six dual Strombergs from America.

It would help our future programme along if you could modify, say, two of these instruments as follows:

1) Clean up the levers and dull nickel plate them.
2) Stove enamel outside finish.
3) Hexagon head plugs to replace screw heads.

In other words, do the minimum amount of work to them to bring them as near in line with the general finish of the "Wraith" D.C.42 carburetter as possible.

Yours faithfully,
