| 646 Experimental Dept. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Les.11/JH. 3rd June, 1937. Messrs. British Tyre & Rubber Co.Ltd., Oxford Works, Burton-on-Trent. For the attention of Mr.Williams. Dear Sirs, Re two invoices from you dated 30th April and 19th May, we are charged 1/-d. {John DeLooze - Company Secretary} each for 36 rubber bushes FW.1055. Before the mould for this rubber was produced you will remember that we had a talk with Mr.Skellon regarding the price. The Northern Rubber Co. were making a slightly longer rubber for 4d. for orders of 12. I believe it was agreed that we should be charged 5 1/2D for these rubbers. I am therefore very astonished at your invoices charging a 1/- each. Will you straighten this matter out. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
