| 6003 Experimental Department Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.8/AP. 15th December 1936. Messrs S.Smith & Sons (Motor Accessories) Ltd., Cricklewood Works, LONDON N.W.2. Dear Sirs, Referring to your letter of the 14th inst., we are pleased to note that you are prepared to supply us with thermometers with armoured flexible tubing without making any extra charge for this feature. In view of this, we are anxious to run such thermometers on two of our test cars - we have one already fitted to a Bentley car and require another to D.75213 for a P.III. car. We should like you to supply us with one thermometer to D.75213 incorporating the armoured flexible tubing, and are anxious to receive this at the earliest possible moment as the test car will be going abroad shortly. Would you be good enough to let us know by return the earliest delivery which you can promise. Our official order will follow on receipt of your reply. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
