Rolls-Royce Ltd., D E R B Y. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Lidsey. We thank you for your letter of the 6th inst. in connection with the testing of the new two-speed Jack Handle. We quite realise the difficulty you are experiencing in fitting this Handle to old type shaft noses and as you suggest, the quickest way out of the trouble will be for us to alter the Handle to suit. I have communicated with your Lillie Hall depot this morning and they are returning the Handle to us when we will open out the squared holes in the gears and return to Lillie Hall for testing. Assuring you of our best attention. Yours faithfully, For DONALD SESSIONS & COMPANY LIMITED. [Signature: Donald Sessions] Managing Director. DWS/IKS | ||
