| 1158 Experimental Dept. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.21/MH.{M. Huckerby} 22nd. November 1938. AC-Sphinx Sparking Plug Co. Ltd., Dunstable, BEDS. For the attention of Mr. D.Bennion Browne. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of 9th. inst. and the writer regrets the delay in replying, which is due to his absence from the Works for the last week. We have received the two heater installations mentioned in your letter and these are now being fitted up on chassis. We would like to receive the third unit as soon as possible and in addition a further two sets of pieces exactly as those already supplied, but with high speed motors. Our official order for these further two sets will be despatched immediately. We note with interest the increased efficiency with the new louvred revolving front and are ensuring that there is free entry for the air on the inlet side of fan. We will communicate with you as soon as any test results of these heaters are available. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
