| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG.5/ET. 6th September, 1940. Pressed Steel Company Ltd., Cowley, OXFORD. Attention of Mr. Maton. Dear Sirs, Confirming our telephone conversation with your Mr. Speed this afternoon with reference to sharpened corners on the Myth body, regarding which I wrote to you on August 26th, I understand from Mr. Speed that you can form the sharpened corners, but the cost will be high. If you can let us have the approximate additional cost of tools and also additional cost for body as soon as possible, we shall be obliged. Until we get this information from you, we cannot go ahead with the work in our Drawing Office. We appreciate that you are very full up with Government work, but if you could possibly spare time to give this matter your attention, we should be greatly obliged. Yours faithfully, Rolls-Royce Ltd. | ||
