Dear Mr. Grylls, In Mr. Emmott's absence for the Paris Show, I am dealing with your letter of the 3rd September regarding Jacks. As you know, we have not been altogether successful in producing a satisfactory hand pump, the trouble being, I think I have previously explained, the Control Valves. This is the reason why we have not forwarded you a hand pump for test; I am not able to deal fully with your last two paragraphs, and will raise this question with Mr. Emmott on his return. Yours faithfully, AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS COMPANY LTD., C. CLENCH, Development Department.
