Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Bailey. We have pleasure in advising you that we are today despatching to you one Model 3 - 12 volt, Dynamo No. 206 which is arranged to give an out of 12 amps., together with Cutout. This machine has been specially wound to your esteemed requirements. With the above, we are sending a standard model later in unpolished box, as specified during our visit earlier in the year. Under separate cover, we are forwarding the new Bezel Operated Rotary Switch, which you will note has been fitted with the Weston Ampere Meter. Unfortunately the Set of Lamps will not be ready until tomorrow morning. We trust, under the circumstances, you will not mind our forwarding these tomorrow. The writer hopes to call upon you either tomorrow afternoon or on Wednesday. We shall be extremely obliged if you will kindly let us have your views after making tests. Should you require the attendance of one of our Electrical Engineers, please be good enough to advise us. Yours faithfully, p.p. S. SMITH & SONS (M.A.) LTD. (SIGNED) C.W. NICKOLS.
