| 1021 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG.7/ET. 8th January, 1941. Messrs. Silent Channel Co., HUNTINGDON. Dear Sirs, We wish to order from you a sample 12 ft. length of each of two types of window channeling and sealing strip. Before sending in our official order, we wish to quote the correct numbers of the above. The sealing strip has a stainless steel edge. Your number for this we think is A.M.2.S.D. The channeling is the American type, one having a stainless steel edge and the other without this edge. Your numbers for these we think are Y.550 and Y.600. We should be much obliged if you would let us know that these Nos. are correct and to which type the two latter Nos. refer. In your letter to us of 30th October, you mentioned channeling for 3/8" and 9/16" boxing. If the above mentioned channeling is obtainable in the two widths, you need only supply it for 3/8" boxing. When this material is dispatched, will you please make a point of labeling for the attention of Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG. Yours faithfully, | ||
