For the attention of Mr. Leslie Kent. Dear Sirs, We should be much obliged if you would urge forward the delivery of the high lift pumps you are making for us, as we are anxious to fit one of these pumps on the frame of a test car which is now nearing completion. I shall be interested to hear your comments on my suggestion for providing an effective buffer for the armature of the pump at the end of the suction stroke. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
