| 1021 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG.10/ET. 18th October, 1940. The Empire Rubber Co., Works Road, LETCHWORTH, Herts. Attention of Mr. Miles. Dear Mr. Miles, I should be glad to know if you have a door seal similar to the enclosed blue print. Also if you could send me samples of any sealing strips that you think might be useful for motor bodywork, I should be obliged. You will undoubtedly be surprised to hear from me in this part of the country, as the last time I made contact with you I was over in Coventry. I have been living here now about five months. As the Body Drawing Office has only been started for a short time, I have no samples or drawings to refer to, and Mr. Kirby is not so accessible as he used to be for me to make enquiries, so that any sections or drawings that you can send me you will appreciate will be very useful. Hoping you are well and with kind regards, Yours sincerely, | ||
