Derby. Dear Sir, On the 13th inst, I had the pleasure of visiting your Works, and of giving a Practical Demonstration, on your 40-50 Cars, of the utility of the Capac Bin. Anral Smats. The man who accompanied me in making the Test, was much impressed with the usefulness of this new Invention, & promised to send in his Report to you, as to its value, and to recommend its purchase. I may say that it has already been supplied to nearly every Motor Mftr. of any standing. Since giving this Demonstration however, I have heard nothing further in the matter, & I shall therefore be extremely obliged, if you will let me know, whether this Report of the Test was put before you, and whether we may have the satisfaction of receiving your esteemed Order. I enclose particulars & prices of this Inst. in case the others left may have been mislaid. And waiting the favour of your esteemed reply, I beg to remain, Dear Sir Faithfully yours, Charles E Storr. Enclos. [STAMP: FC SEP 27] | ||
