In discussing the question over the telephone of delivery for the present type of Rear Spring, with nibs and slots deleted, which give a bedding all over the contact surface, Mr. Alfred Woodhead informed me that he would be able to despatch two pairs of springs treated in this manner by our lorry on Friday. I gather from what he said that one of our lorries was going over there in any case, and that he would make a delivery of the springs by it. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
