| Messrs.Rolls-Royce,Ltd., Date 30.6.30. Page 3 his own car, and we hope to be able to give you some information shortly, although these tests naturally take some time to complete. Should you intend fitting up the sample units which we sent Mr.Bailey's department experimentally, we think it would be as well to see if the aluminium packing piece, which we had thought of for the washer and the bottom half of the tank unit top, is a practical means of preventing paint etc., getting on to the washer and into the seating, and if you think fit we will make you up a cover,(which we think should be preferably rubber), to similarly protect the top half whilst it is being fitted up and handled in the shops,and at coachbuilders. Assuring you at all times of our best attention, We remain,dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, H.M.HOBSON,Ltd., T.P.Searight. Joint Managing Director. | ||
