Dear Sirs, With further reference to your letter of the 16th. May, you omitted to state whether you required the four shock absorbers in question to be all the same hand as per sample submitted, or whether you required these to be two pairs. We also take it that you require the arms to be fitted in the same position as the similar sample to which your letter refers, that is with the arm in the horizontal position and the set inwards towards the shock absorber. In order that there will be no delay, please wire this information immediately on receipt of this letter. Yours faithfully, ARMSTRONG'S PATENTS CO. LTD. [Signature] | ||
