Please quote our reference: S.1. 25th November 1935. Messrs. Rolls Royce Ld, DERBY. Attention of Mr. W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham. Dear Sirs, PHANTOM III. With reference to the chassis which you have so kindly loaned us for the purpose of fitting Jackalls, whilst we are progressing satisfactorily with the necessary fitting we think it advisable to warn you that this work will take longer than we anticipated. We have found it necessary to make both special jacks and brackets. However, we can assure you that not a moment is being lost and we think you will agree that, when the work has been completed, it is satisfactory. Thanking you in anticipation of your kind indulgence. Yours faithfully, For S. SMITH & SONS (MOTOR ACCESSORIES) LD. [Signature] SALES DIRECTOR | ||
