Dear Sirs, We are returning to you, under separate cover, the hub cap which you left with us the other day, together with our Laboratory report. You will see that this plating does not conform with our present standard. We should like a better quality if, and when we obtain any hubs from you. Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
