this point and advise us as soon as you have come to a decision.

In regard to Section 3 of your Specification, due to the method of manufacture of the Cam, we find that it would be difficult for us to guarantee the relative positions of the Cam contact and the key-way in the bore closer than plus or minus ½º from the position required by the drawing. We trust that this will meet with your requirements but would take this opportunity of pointing out that if the relative position of the Steering Wheel and Drop Arm is required then there are many other parts and considerations which affect this besides this position of the key-way.

Trusting the above will be clear to you and assuring you of our best attention at all times.

We are, Yours faithfully,
for ADAMANT ENGINEERING COMPANY LIMITED.

F.W. Travers
Director.
