No number

“COMPLETE CYCLE”, underlined, is written above DATE RECEIVED, and the customer's name, “531C.” and the TA-boss spacing are pencilled across the top of the sheet above the printed heading — the ink NAME line itself reads “Mr Gurbutt”, the first name coming from the pencil. Delivery was promised “mid–end March”. The FRAME No. box was never filled in, which is why the sheet is filed without a register number. The district on the address line is the sheet's own abbreviation, most likely West Bridgford, and a telephone number follows it.
