Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., Nightingale Road, Derby. Our Ref: S/KGC/AC. 3rd February 1939. For the Attention of Mr Whyman. Dear Sirs, We confirm our telephone conversation of yesterday, and are pleased to advise you that the experimental intake silencer was despatched to you last night as promised. We do very sincerely apologise for the delay which has occurred in this matter, occasioned by the change over to our premises here. We are very pleased to know that you appreciate that this delay could not be taken to mean that this matter was not of interest to us, but rather, that it is one to which we are extremely anxious to give our most earnest attention. Our quotation for intake silencers in lots of 200 and 500 is being prepared, and we hope to let you have this very shortly. We are pleased to know that you intend to visit us, if possible next week, and we look forward to having a most interesting discussion. If, however, you find that you are unable to come over, we should of course be only too pleased to visit you in Derby. Looking forward to hearing from you in this matter in due course. We are, Yours very truly, BURGESS PRODUCTS COMPANY LIMITED. Experimental Department. cc GD. | ||
