Dear Mr. Royce, I have your letter of the 3rd inst., together with sketches of the piston for the brake magnet and I am now proceeding with the final arrangements. I thank you for your remarks in regard to the Great Western Railway, and the cranes which we are offering are strictly in accordance with their specification, and I am afraid that it is only the personal touch in this case which is likely to influence matters. The cranes in question would be fitted with a mechanical lowering brake in accordance with the official specification. I shall also be in London on Thursday next, 8th inst., on other business, and if you happen to be in London I should like to see you for a short time at our London Office. I shall be in touch with our London Office any time after 11.30a.m. We are, Yours faithfully, P.S. Since writing the above I have been notified of a Board Meeting at 3pm on Tuesday B/ES. | ||
