Dear Mr.Daniell, There are one or two points we should like to discuss with you about propellor shafts and rear axles. If you could pay us a visit on Tuesday or Wednesday next week we could also show you where we have got on wheel fixings. There is one question we should like to ask you, What is the material used in the male splined portion of your prop. shafts, and who supplies it ? It would appear to us to be a suitable material for rear axle shafts and presumably obtainable at a commercial price. Yours sincerely, | ||
