Tangye Jacks

We received on Saturday a second Tangye Jack, which they state has a cadmium plated tube.

I am not quite sure why they have sent this second Jack, as we understood the first sample Jack submitted (Vide ROY {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} 4/MG30.10.29) also had a cadmium plated sliding Tube.

However, to avoid any possibility of misunderstanding, I am asking Tangyes why they have sent this through.
