On Wednesday 8th April, 1987, as a result of enquiries I went
to Moore Print Craft Ltd, 53 Grove Vale, London, SE22, where
I took possession of an Adler typewriter (Exhibit MD/1) and a
typewriter ribbon (Exhibit MD/2) from the said typewriter. These
items I handed to Detective Constable Pratt at New Scotland Yard
the same day.
