PORTLAND STREET TELEPHONE: FITZROY 1014 TELEGRAMS: ENOTSTONE WESDO LONDON For the attention of Mr. Gaye. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Nightingale Road, DERBY. 7th. June 1929. Dear Sirs, "Enots" Lubricator G.77765 for Mechanics Joint. We enclose herewith sample we have made up of the above, the outside dimensions being in accordance with the above print. We have used a valve similar to the previous one supplied and as explained to Mr. Robotham on the 'phone have been able to retain the strong spring which makes the valve absolutely sound. In place of the ball we have extended the stem so that it fills up the orifice at the top of the nipple. We think you will agree, therefore, that there is no chance of dirt getting in and that the proposed design makes a very satisfactory job. Yours faithfully, BENTON & STONE LTD., [Signature] Director.
