Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd.,
DERBY.

Dear Mr. Robotham,

With further reference to my letter of yesterday, I have now been able to get some tentative prices for the Twin Stromberg Carburetter, but as mentioned in my letter of yesterday, it is very difficult to give an exact quotation until we have your final specification, as you will probably require a certain number of modifications. I have based these prices on 500 carburetters and arranged the tools spread over this quantity.

For a carburetter made entirely in America but re-set and tested in this country by ourselves, the price would be: £7. 0. 0

For a Carburetter partially made in this country with diecastings from America, the price would be: £7.15. 0 and

For one that was entirely made over here, the price would be: £8.10. 6.

I hope these figures will give you the necessary
