| Messrs.Rolls-Royce,Ltd., Date 4..1.29. Page 2 see the arrangement possible. In connection with the K.S.180 installation, your Technical Production Department recently communicated with us, showing an altered position for the unit, which makes it essential that new units shall be supplied in any installation thus altered. For your information we enclose copies of correspondence on this subject. We remain, dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, H.M.HOBSON,Ltd., T.P.Searight Joint Managing Director. P.S. We propose supplying the first two trial sets with a temporary arrangement on the top plate to take the pump attachment. The pump appears to be working out satisfactorily, and we hope to have the trial sets through shortly. We shall be obliged if you will inform us whether the K.S.180 is to be altered to your LF 1220, according to information received from your Technical Production Department, or whether it is to be a standard installation, as shown on our original drawing. | ||
