Dear Sirs, For the attention of W.A.Robotham Esq. We thank you for your communication of the 7th, and would advise you that two replacement pistons, one with gudgeon pin assembled, were despatched to you last night by post, in order that you may make up a complete set, and we trust these have come to hand safely. Also we are pleased to inform you that unless anything untoward occurs, we shall be able to despatch a further set of six pistons to-morrow so as to be in your hands on Saturday, and we are proceeding with the production of a further six in the same material to complete your order for a total of 14, which we hope to receive in due course. With regard to pistons in RR.53 material, we are approaching Messrs. High Duty Alloys on the general questions involved and if any difficulties arise which would be simplified by your intervention, we will take the matter up with you accordingly at a later date. Yours faithfully, pp THE LIGHT PRODUCTION CO. LTD. GENERAL MANAGER. | ||
