Birkett - Commercial Manager}2/W.10.8.37. This information is just what we wanted. We note that you are reserving one plate for 3-AZ-128, Wilcock, and we would be glad if you will kindly continue to give us lists from time to time confirming when plates have been fitted. The only omission from the list appears to be the first one namely 3-AX-62 Seymour Berry whihh was fitted at N. on May 26th. We have today forwarded to you one more clutch plate for car unknown in response to your 'phone call this morning. We have today received 6 more plates from Leamington. These are being tested and we propose to forward 3 to you before the week-end, and would ask you to keep us advised as and when they are fitted to customers cars.
