Dear Sirs,

Your ref. Hc/Wst.4/JH.
Replying to your letter of the 26th. inst.

We are afraid it is not possible to produce Titeflex in aluminium, or to the dimensions you give.

We could however reduce the weight of our standard product by making certain alterations. The writer will be in Derby tomorrow morning (Tuesday) and will call at your works, probably around 11 am. and it may be possible to work out something that would suit your needs.

Yours faithfully,
GABRIEL MANUFACTURING CO.
