With reference to your letter of the 9th inst, in connection with the six experimental Hydrolift Jacks for your Bentley model we very much regret the delay which has occurred in getting these through to you, but this has largely been due to the alterations required to the die casting. However, samples have now been received, and Mr. Sessions is calling at our Works in Birmingham in connection with these Jacks, and we trust that we shall be in a position to send you at least one 15" Jack in the course of the next post or so. Assuring you of our very best attention at all times, we remain, Yours faithfully, FOR SMITH'S JACKING SYSTEMS LIMITED. Technical Dept. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/ELL. | ||
