Hanbury - Head Complaints} 21.12.43. SILVER RIPPLE. I want to get a serious quotation from Pressed Steel for the version of this body. Will you please let me know exactly what drawings are required to enable a firm quotation to be obtained and how long you think it will take us to prepare such drawings, assuming that Grover and Co. and Allen are available. You might have an exploratory talk with Pressed Steel and as soon as the drawings are ready, I will come over with you and bring 12 B 50. as a sample, and discuss the matter with them.
