Dear Sirs, Many thanks for your letter of January 7th with the enclosed new curve for the other three distributors. This appears to be in order and we have now obtained the curve for the three distributors exactly to your requirements. These distributors are now well in hand but we find we shall require another gear as per sketch. One of the distributors that I brought away with me, you will remember, was built up by yourselves and we find this has an odd type of gear and we require one of the latest type to replace this. Perhaps you will be good enough to let us have one by return. If you wish to make any comments on the sample sent you, we shall be glad to receive these so that we can rectify on the three samples we shall be sending along. We do very much want to have these distributors exactly to your requirements. Yours faithfully, [Signature] Ben Rushton Ben Rushton, TECHNICAL MANAGER.
