| X62 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Cry.6/KW. 6th June, 1936. The Anglo-American Oil Company Ltd., 83, Albert Embankment, Vauxhall, LONDON, S.E.11. For the attention of Mr. Tett. Dear Sirs, Re French Benzol. We have looked into the question of the orders sent to your firm by our Order Office for supplies of French Benzol for test. We find that these were sent to your Derby office. The order for 50 gallons was to our number 14333, and for the 250 gallons to number 15799. In view of the fact that you now have 50 gallons of the French fuel in England, we should like to carry out some testing on it, and shall be glad therefore if you will deliver 50 gallons to our Works. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
