Dear Mr.Grylls, I thank you for your letter of the 16th inst. referring to three jack pumps that do not hold pressure after the car has been raised. I take it these pumps have been sent to our works in Birmingham, addressed for my attention, and I will let you have a report on them as soon as I have had an opportunity of examining same. If, however, the pumps have been sent to this address, perhaps you would be good enough to let me know. Yours very truly, [Signature] Director & General Manager. DWS/IKS | ||
