G.L. Hack, Esq.,
Messrs. Rudge-Whitworth Ltd.,
COVENTRY.

Dear Mr. Hack,

Many thanks for your letter re the head with the plug at the side.

What we are really badly in need of is another cylinder head such as the one that was supplied with our unit. We understand that you have not made any more of these, and should like to know whether the pattern is in existence, and if so whether we can borrow it so that we can make one or two more of these heads ourselves.

Yours sincerely,

FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED.
