When Mr.West visited Mr.Watson recently he arranged to check over some drawings which were given to him of Slow Engagement Starters, in order that we could determine whether any modifications were necessary to the Starter to enable it to be accommodated on your engine, so as to enable us to estimate a price for the manufacture of these. We have not heard further from Mr.West, and we should be glad to know whether the Starter as it stands is adaptable to the engine, or whether any modifications will require making. Yours faithfully, JOSEPH LUCAS LIMITED. E.A. Watson Handwritten annotations: X4342 WST | ||
