With regard to the two No.6 Facings which we promised to let you have, they were posted off to you on Monday night and we are rather surprised that you did not receive same yesterday. With regard to the Countersink of the holes for the Rivets, instructions have been passed to the works to keep these as low as possible, but still allowing a minimum of 1/32" of wear on the facings before contact will be made with the Rivet Head. Yours faithfully, BORG & BECK COMPANY LTD. [Signature] Manager | ||
