| 1021 9th September, 1941. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG.2/RH.{R. Hollingworth} Messrs. Wilmot-Breeden Ltd., Eastern Works, Camden Street, BIRMINGHAM. Attention of Mr.Spicer. Dear Mr. Spicer, Regarding the sample handles which you recently sent us showing various finishes, we do not think that any of these are as nice as the sample which we selected, and under the circumstances have decided that it will be advisable for the first set of fittings to be finished in polished chrome. In the meantime, we take it that you will continue your experiments with the idea of obtaining a finish similar to the sample and one which you will be able to reproduce consistently on production. Will you kindly send us a further copy of your blue print No. EX.40330 - Front Door Window Regulator. Yours sincerely, | ||
