| X2628 Shipping 125, AVENUE MALAKOFF PARIS XVIe TÉLÉPHONE: PASSY { 33-79, 39-01, 39-10 February 14th 1922 Dear Hives, I have forwarded the patent spring shackles to you by Holmes driver to Brigadier General Carlton de Wiart who leaves to-day for England "en route" to the Works. You should get them before the end of the week. I shall be most interested to hear what you think of them. My friend is disposed to hand over the license at a practically negligible consideration as he considers it sufficient repayment to have had the honour of inventing something which is good enough to be adopted by us. Yours V. {VIENNA} Sincerely, Gerald Welles | ||
