Office of?A. Bradbury?Manufacturer of ?Teed’s Improved Water-Wheel,?Planers, Matchers, Mill Gearing, Corn Crackers, Horse and Dog Powers &c.
Established 1845.
Guilford, N. Y., April 5 1872
Mr. John Mayne
Dr Sir
Your favor of 2 (unclear),
&c by Mr Leed_ Perhaps I had better loan you the
original wood patterns of buckets & let you make X castings
from them_ I shall probably want something of the
kind in return _ This seems to be all you speak of
at present _ The hub or centre in these wood pattern XX
cast from that _ I did not reply earlier because
our Mr Merchant was absent, & he knew more
about the pattern for large boring machine than
anyone else _ He says he believes we have all the
patterns & thinks yourself a machinist had better
come & look them over as some changes may
be suggested that would be useful. I hardly
know what castings are going to be worth but if
pig iron continues to go up _ casting will be
likely to be worth something too
Yours Truly
Andrew Bradbury
Mr Leed talks of coming over soon
To your place & can bring patterns
with him |
