| x1487- Exptl. Dept. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /CTS. {C. Trot Salt - Carburation} 6/KW. 13th March,1935. The S.U. Carburetter Co.Ltd., East Works, Adderley Park, Birmingham 8. For the attention of Mr. Cooper. Dear Mr. Cooper, You will remember that I visited your Works about a month ago, re special 1 3/8" bore carburetters. One pair I brought away with me (Brass), and a second pair you were to prepare in "Hiduminium". Could you please let me know the position of this job, and when to expect same. Will you please send me 3 pairs of jets (not needles) as fitted to 3 1/2 litre Bentley, in your 1 3/8" carburetter. Singers let me down badly over the other job. They named a day, promised to finish the job in the day, received the car, and then they didn't touch it. I am waiting to hear from them again. Yours sincerely, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
