8810

Deposit £20, with “see 8413” written beside the customer's order number; the word “Window” floats above the dropout instruction on the lugs line and its meaning is not clear from the sheet. Both angle figures have been written over and neither digit is certain: they are read here as 72° and 74° but could have been corrected to something else. A telephone number in brackets follows the town in the address block, and the figure in the bottom bracket height is also overwritten.
