Dear Sirs, We have to acknowledge with many thanks receipt of your letter of the 12th inst, and note that you would prefer to carry out the final adjustment of the release lever setting at your Derby Works. In this connection it is understood that you will require Castellated Nuts, and arrangements are being made accordingly, but even so, we are definitely of the opinion that it would be to our mutual advantage for the drilling of the eyebolts to be carried out at your Works. In connection with your concluding remarks we note that you would like us to quote you for our Models 10.A6 and 11.A6 Clutches on a production basis, in accordance with the specification mentioned in your letter; would advise that we are having the necessary costs prepared in this regard and shall have pleasure in placing our proposals before Mr. Royce at an early date.
