Dept. For the attention of W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham Esq. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. October 8th 1928. Petrol Filters. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your kind letter of the 5th inst., with further reference to the above. We are afraid that we shall not be able to get the new revised model through in ten days time although we are making every effort to do this, but the delay will be the blanking and piercing tools for the larger diameter duralumin plates which we are aming 1½" dia. with a 3/16" broad rim and the spokes 5/64" broad. We are also making some drawing tools to produce the sump from an aluminium drawn shell, which should be considerably lighter. We feel sure that these latest modifications will give you what you require and we hope that we shall be in time with our sample for your test on the Continent. Yours faithfully, BENTON & STONE LTD.
