Please quote our reference: S.l. 13th November 1936. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Attention of Mr. C. S. Steadman. Dear Sirs, Replying to yours of yesterday's date, Ref: Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.19/AP., concerning the new type flexible capillary and the comparison you make as regards the extra cost of this over and above that of the rubber mounting, whilst we are not altogether surprised that it should be in excess, we are most anxious to give you every possible assistance in this matter, and have therefore asked our Works for a re-investigation. We will let you know the result of their findings directly we have their news. Yours faithfully, For S. SMITH & SONS (MOTOR ACCESSORIES) LTD. C. W. Nichols SALES DIRECTOR. | ||
