| 1124 Our Ref: HCR/BJ/DMK. 24th January, 1939. COPY OF LETTER RECEIVED FROM WILMOT BREEDEN LTD., For the attention of I.A.R.Leslie, Esq., Dear Sirs, OSCILLITH BUSHES. We desire to thank you for your letter and print No. FB 3143 of the "Silentbloc" that you are at present using. We find on investigation that the most suitable bush at present available has the following dimensions :- 2 15/32" long compared with the length of 2½" required. Outside and inside diameters 1 15/32" and 21/32" compared with 1½" and ¾" respectively as shown on your print. 28/32 We feel, however, that when this bush is compressed it will fulfil your requirements admirably, but will be glad of your confirmation of this point, as we have to obtain the first initial supplies from France. We await your comments with interest, and would assure you of our keen interest at all times. 1 1/2 16/32 Yours faithfully, for WILMOT BREEDEN LTD., B.Jackman, SALES DEPARTMENT. | ||
