| X 340 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.11/KW.10.9.36. 10th September, 1936. Messrs. G.A. Harvey & Co. Ltd., Greenwich Metal Works, London, S.E.7. Your Ref: W/K/4. Dear Sirs, We have received your letter of the 7th inst., for which we thank you, and note that you can construct the type of grille which you have sent us in aluminium wire if required. We do not wish you to proceed with the manufacture of such a grille, however, until further notice - we have yet to decide whether this type of grille fulfills the purpose for which we require it. In the meantime, we would like your quotation for grilles of this type (the "crinkled" type of mesh) in aluminium wire in lots of 200. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
