Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. West. We thank you for your letter of the 24th inst, ref:Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.2/MA, which has apparently crossed ours of the 23rd inst. The suggestion shown on the blue print forwarded you are to all intentions and purposes, similar to those shown on your drawing. We are making up a casting on these lines and will forward it to you at the earliest possible moment. Incidentally we propose reducing the thickness of the flange portion as we have no doubt that you will agree that there is at present, more material in this particular part than is really necessary. Yours faithfully, for S. SMITH & SONS (MOTOR ACCESSORIES) LIMITED. W.S.Powell. ELECTRICAL ENGINEER. TO AVOID DELAY ALL ENVELOPES SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO THE FIRM | ||
