Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 10th instant and note that you are returning two water pump spindles to us for examination. We will let you have our findings on these in due course. In accordance with your request, we are arranging for two additional spindles, type 400836, to be despatched to you under separate cover. These will be allocated against your Order No. 75213 of the 8th instant, which we have already received. This order actually calls for three spindles but, as we have only two available at the moment and you only ask for two in your letter, we have taken the liberty of adjusting your order to read " Two Ball Bearing Spindles type 400836". Trusting that our action meets with your approval, We are, Yours faithfully, THE SKEFKO BALL BEARING CO. LTD. Geo. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Goodall. | ||
