Dear Sirs, We wish to confirm the visit of our Mr. Evans to your works yesterday in connection with the GIRLING BRAKES which we are supplying against your Order No. 87420 and we now understand that the various queries raised in your letter of the 1st and 2nd inst. have been thoroughly dealt with and that everything is now satisfactory. We understand from our Mr. Evans that you would like us to fit the linings and grind same on to brake shoes. This we can arrange to do as we feel we can fit same and grind in position cheaper than you could your goodselves. Perhaps you will kindly write us further on this subject.
