| 704 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/SAC.2/DT. 22nd April, 1941. Messrs. Hallam Sleigh & Cheston, Widney Works - Bagot Street, B I R M I N G H A M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} 4. Attention of Mr. Whitehouse. Dear Sirs, We thank you for the sample pair of folding armrest fittings which we have recently received. It will probably be found necessary to make certain modifications to render them suitable for the job we have in hand. We shall probably also ask you that they should be slightly better finished. We are, however, looking into this and will write you later. We have advised our Purchase Department that these fittings are on sale or return. Will you please let us know what you have to offer in the way of spring rollers for rear blinds. We think it will probably be necessary for the roller to be in metal and the chromium plated end fittings should be in a better finish than used on the cheaper production cars. Yours faithfully, | ||
