| 1023 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.9/MH.{M. Huckerby} 3rd. March 1938. C.L.Breeden, Esq., Messrs. Wilmot-Breeden Ltd., Eastern Works, BIRMINGHAM, 1. Dear Mr.Breeden, I much enjoyed having a look round your excellent factory last week, and feel certain that the time was not wasted. I heard from R.F.Turner that he hopes the sample Bumper with over-riders to replace our FW.1110 would be ready to-morrow. We shall arrange for this to go onto our Managing Director's car. Before anything can be decided about this Bumper it will be necessary for us to have another quotation. Your previous quotation did not include over-riders, but included the more expensive type of 2 1/4" diameter eye-rolls. Can you, therefore, let me have as soon as possible prices for bumpers similar to the sample which you are about to supply in quantities of 100 and 500. The tool cost being separate ? I have been investigating the question of the rear Bumper bar with our Design Dept., and it appears that we can make an adjustable Bumper bar bracket, which will enable the same Bumper to be used with various lengths of the body. Yours sincerely, | ||
