File

Dear Sirs,

On the 24th of last month we sent you a Big End Bearing which had failed in a Dennis Diesel Engine, and Mr. Blackith on that date asked you whether you would be good enough to examine same and let us have a report as to your ideas on the cause of this failure.

Up to the present time we do not appear to have received any reply to this letter, and Dennis Bros. are very anxious to have this matter settled as soon as possible.

We would ask you, therefore, to kindly give this matter your early attention.

Thanking you in anticipation of your co-operation in this connection,

We are,

Yours faithfully,
For WELLWORTHY PISTON RINGS LTD.,

L. b. Noble

Technical Department.
