Dear Mr. Skinner, Thank you for your letter, together with 5 needles and seatings. These are definitely better than those you sent previously, and we think that providing all production stuff is turned out like this, we shall leave trouble behind in that direction. We note that you have also altered the angle of the needles. Mr. Robotham handed me your letter re petrol flexes, and I have despatched to you this afternoon 3 sectional pieces as follows :- (1) Present standard Bentley "Titeflex" piping made by - The Gabriel Manufacturing Co., Columbia Avenue, Edgeware, Middlesex. (2) Standard 20/25 HP. Petrol flex, "Avioflexus", made by the - Power Flex Co., Derby Works, Finsbury Park, N.4. | ||
