E.J.De Normanville, Esq., Overdrive Gears Ltd., 76, Victoria Street, LONDON, S.W.1. Dear Mr. de Normanville, We have been making some drawings to fit up your overdrive for test in one of our cars. Before making any parts or asking you to get A.C.Wickman to supply them we think we ought to settle the position should we want to use the scheme on production. Will you write us your views on this or alternatively come to Derby and discuss possible future arrangements. Yours sincerely, | ||
