| 16112 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.6/MA. 14th June, 1935. Messrs.S.Smith & Sons, Ltd., Cricklewood Works, London, N.W.2. For the attention of Mr.Russell. Dear Sir, We are standardising the new electric petrol gauge tank unit with aluminium support bracket and warning lamp contacts for use on the Bentley. We had a certain amount of trouble however with the unit we have been testing due to the float leaking, the leak occurring where the support wire is soldered. We trust you will take care that especial inspection is made at this point for leaks. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
