| Messrs.Rolls-Royce,Ltd., Date 8.6.28. Page 2 method. We could then fit it up with the Sprengel type of unit, in the most advantageous position with regard to air pumping etc., and connect our vent tube to your tank vent; make a latest type dash unit, shimmed to give the correct factor of safety in conjunction with this tank unit, and let you have the whole set back for fitting and trial on the car. If you cannot arrange to let us have a tank, then a drawing giving details of filler, vents etc., might do. We would particularly impress upon you the necessity of fitting the Sprengel type of tank unit in conjunction with this modified form of dash unit. If you will let us know the best way to handle this matter, we will take the necessary steps to equip your 20 h.p. model with the latest type dash unit and tank unit at the very earliest possible moment. Assuring you at all times of our best attention, We remain, dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, H.M.HOBSON,Ltd., J.P.Searight Joint Managing Director. | ||
