Rolls-Royce Ltd. DERBY. 8th. August 1940. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 7th. instant enclosing Drawing No. CPL.112. Whilst we could make the plated portion of this mounting, it is impossible for us to undertake any further machining at the present time. We shall be glad, therefore, if you will, consider the question of us making this portion only. In the absence of full detail of the plated portion of the mounting, this appears to be satisfactory, excepting that the base appears to be constructed as a plate pressing, and we feel sure that this could be constructed more easily as a bent angle ring, providing the limits and dimensions are not too keen. We shall be glad to hear from you in due course. Yours faithfully, For - INTERNATIONAL COMBUSTION LIMITED. Works Division.
