Rolls-Royce Limited, Experimental Department, D E R B Y. Attention of Mr. Steadman. Dear Sirs, With further reference to our letter of the 25th ultimo, we regret that it has not been possible for us to send you the sample water-pump spindle, as promised. Certain snags have arisen in the production of these bearings and we wish to satisfy ourselves that they are entirely satisfactory before submitting further samples to you. We hope to have the matter straightened out in the course of the next few days, when we will write you again. Assuring you of our best attention at all times, We are, Yours faithfully, THE SKEFKO BALL BEARING CO. LTD. | ||
