Dear Sirs, With reference to our letter of the 12th inst. regarding a sample Shock Absorber Assembly sent you, we shall be glad to know if you have yet been able to carry out any tests on this, and if it will be correct for us to make up the 12 Assemblies just ordered against your reference 41056 to the same particulars. These would, of course, have the special shaped end plates but would incorporate the same design of bellows. Thanking you in anticipation of your reply. We are, Yours faithfully, CROSBY VALVE & ENGINEERING CO. LTD., [Signature] Manager TAP. | ||
