Attention of Mr. Brooks.
Dear Sirs,
A short time ago, I had a conversation with your Mr. Roley concerning a lighter piston of 3.500 bore.
It was agreed that a piston could be produced to our drawing RE.786, to give section thickness representative of a metal die.
You have already done this successfully by faking the foundry process with wooden cores, and recently supplied 7 such pistons otherwise to our drawing RE.785.
Can you please let us know when we may expect delivery of 14 pistons of 3.500 bore treated as stated.
At the same time, will you let us know when you can deliver 36 pistons to our drawing RE.1821, in accordance with our letter of 21st December last.
Yours faithfully,
