GRY{Shadwell Grylls} Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Grylls. No doubt you will be expecting to hear from us in connection with the experimental Aerolite Pistons we are preparing for you, in-sofar that the anticipated time for their manufacture, as promised to you by the undersigned, expires to-day. Certain minor hitches have occurred, which have introduced delay, but you will be pleased to know that satisfactory castings have been produced from the new equipment and these are now well forward, so that there is every possibility of our being able to despatch these pistons to you at the end of this week, or certainly in the early days of next week, which we trust will be satisfactory to you. Yours faithfully, pp THE LIGHT PRODUCTION CO. LTD. A H Brooks GENERAL MANAGER. | ||
