Replying to yours of the 14th instant, our Engineer duly visited your works last week for the purpose of modifying the pipe leads in accordance with your wishes, which work we believe is to the satisfaction of Mr.Bowering. Unfortunately, the writer's car is not available or he would have made experiments in this direction. Perhaps you will very kindly inspect Chassis 5-B-IV and let us know whether the modifications meet with your approval. Yours faithfully, For S.SMITH & SONS (MOTOR ACCESSORIES) LD.
