SUBJECT

16th March 1939.

Dear Sirs,

With reference to your letter addressed to Mr.Blazey, I note with interest that you have found the trouble with the coupling drive in your engine which caused a failure in the Delco Distributor.

Naturally when I read your previous letter I was very alarmed, but as I have been away from the office with 'flu I did not know the final results until receipt of your letter today.

With regard to the handbooks - I am very sorry to say that we are completely out of stock of these. We have had a very big run on these books from individuals at Derby, but immediately a new supply comes in we will let you have two as requested.

Yours faithfully,

pp B.Rushton B.S.

B.Rushton,
Technical Director.
