Attention Mr. F.Ll Smith. Dear Sirs, In reply to your letter of the 4th instant, with reference to six 10" and two 11" Clutches, which you require fitting with Ferodo No.6. Facings etc. As advised during your visit to our Works to-day we are waiting for the supply of friction facings, as unfortunately the initial supplies were drilled by us in accordance with our usual standard, whereas you will of course recall that the particular clutches referred to are required to be double clinched on the inner diameter. We will do all possible to place same in your hands at an early date. Yours faithfully, BORG & BECK COMPANY LIMITED. [Signature] H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} T. Barker | ||
