Bailey - Chief Engineer} Sft.{Mr Swift} LID{A. J. Lidsey} Bentley Wheel Hammer. We send you herewith blueprint: Lec.3595 shewing an improved haft for the hammer. Will you please make up the second model. The first one was not nice to hold. What we have done, and think is a great improvement, is to make the haft from a taper tube and worked out the handle to an oval shape, knurling the grip. E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} | ||
