For the attention of S. W. Grylls, Esq.. Dear Mr. Grylls, It is approximately three months since I last called at your Works and saw the Bishop Steering Gear undergoing your "bump" test. I understood that if the gear successfully survived that ordeal it would be mounted on a chassis and given a road test. I shall be very interested to hear if you have had an opportunity of testing the gear on the road, or preferably, if you will fix a date I shall be very pleased to give you a call at your Works. Yours faithfully, For CAM GEARS LTD., R.Pentony Director. | ||
