CANNING & CO LTD Registered Offices 133 to 137 GREAT HAMPTON STREET BIRMINGHAM REFERENCES YOURS EJJ 7/W19.2 30. OURS SD/FBN/OMS. 21st February 1930. Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., DERBY. Dear Sirs; We thank you for your letter of the 19th instant, and we would point out that the solution in your Radiator Vat is unsuitable to use as a Barrel Plating Solution, and we think that it would be in your best interests to instal a "Forward" Plating Barrel complete. We are enclosing our estimate for this Barrel, and it will be found illustrated and described on pages 9 and 10 of the enclosed Barrel booklet. The average space occupied by a "Forward" Barrel is 5' x 3'6"; although they are not shown on the illustration, we provide anode rod covers to each anode rod, and as these have to be swung over to enable the anodes to be replaced, you should allow a space of approximately 1'9" extra on each side of the vat. Trusting to receive your valued order, Yours faithfully, Encl:256. FOR: W. CANNING & CO LTD. B. Dawson per HBN GFL.
