For the attention of Mr. Bennion Brown. Dear Sirs, In reply to your letter of the 29th ult. we are glad to hear you are able to supply a sample AT type fuel pump on a body without the vacuum pump. Provided this pump is identical to the pump shown on LeC.5737. As regards the fixing flange to the crankcase and the fuel pump is inverted we should be pleased to have the sample pump supplied as you suggest. We wish to have this pump to test at the earliest possible opportunity while the hot weather lasts and accordingly wish to know the earliest date you can promise delivery. We will endeavour to let you have examples of the variation in the T type push rod operated pumps which you have supplied to us. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
