Untraced

The sheet is dated only “26 Jan” against DATE RECEIVED, with no year written anywhere, so none is recorded here. “Extra length for column” is written to the right of the brakes entry. A struck figure reading “17¼” sits at the start of the angles line before the corrected entry, and the same figure stands in the chainstays box. A telephone number is written on the address line; the surname is read from a fast hand and could as easily be Pessin.
