Dept., Derby. LES Dear Sirs, Replying to your letter of the 22nd inst., in regard to the first paragraph of same the 6 Rubbers to F.86914 and 3 to G.82625 were despatched on the 21st inst. under Advice Note LN/26848, and we-hope that by now you will have received them safely. In regard to the second paragraph of your letter respecting Order 93584, we have now received the steel inserts, but on endeavouring to put these into the mould we find that Part No. G.83186 will not fit. This part is, therefore, being returned to you immediately, and we would be glad if you would kindly let us have steel inserts No. G.83186 of the correct size when we will see that no time is lost in the production of this order. Thanking you. Yours faithfully, BRITISH TYRE & RUBBER CO.LTD. [Illegible Signature] Northern Mechanical Dept. [Handwritten note, bottom left]: Rubber 3 7 | ||
