Hanbury - Head Complaints} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} West. Dear Sirs, PETROL GAUGE GEARS. Further in reference to the writer's letter of the 12th February and our conversation during your visit to our Works last week, as it has been mutually agreed that the introduction of the finer tooth gear would be definitely advantageous and eliminate the trouble which we have had on account of sticking gears, may we have your permission to substitute the finer tooth? Thanking you in anticipation. Yours faithfully, For S. SMITH & SONS (Motor Accessories) LIMITED, [Signature] SALES DIRECTOR. | ||
