| 200B Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Les.4/AP. December 23rd.1937 Messrs John Thompson Pressings Ltd., 427 Beacon Works, WOLVERHAMPTON For the attention of Mr.Hunt. Dear Sirs, I enclose a copy of our Inspector's report of the first frame. As mentioned yesterday, the first 2 items are the only major faults. I have got agreement for you to spend £50 on tools for the next frame, drawings for which were left with you yesterday. We shall be sending you a covering order for the first frame when your quotation arrives, but it is quite likely that we shall want 3 of these frames. I am enclosing 2 new prints of the gussets FB.3466/7. These have a slight modification at the front end. Will you please destroy the previous prints. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
