Jan:
1937.

For the attention of F.{Mr Friese} J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Hardy, Esq.

Dear Sirs,

Confirming telephonic conversation of this afternoon, we are arranging to let you have a quotation for the existing type of lead weights, made from an alloy containing 8% antimony.

It is thought that we can cast these weights in the existing moulds with the exception of the large one, for which a new mould will definitely be necessary.

Regarding the sample Bumper incorporating a rubber cushion in the dash pots, we hope to have this finished and in your hands by the end of this week.

Yours faithfully,
p.p. WILMOT-BREEDEN, LIMITED,

MR. P. TURNER,
Technical Sales Manager.
