OUR REF: RLK/MRC. 24th December, 1940. Handwritten: Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} / Rigby Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Attention of W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham, Esq., Experimental Department. Dear Sirs, We are in receipt of your letter of the 18th inst. We shall certainly be pleased to convert the diaphragms which you have in stock, free of charge. We would rather do this than supply you with new ones, owing to the difficulty in getting work through the shops at the present moment, and we presume that it will suit you equally well to have the old ones modified. Yours faithfully, for THE S. U. CARBURETTER CO. LTD. p.p. R.L. Kent. | ||
