Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Aln.1/MJ.23.3.32. 24th March 1932. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Experimental Department, Derby. RECEIVED 1932 MAR 30 H ALN Dear Sirs, We are in receipt of your letter of the 23rd inst., requesting prints of our latest Fuel Pump and Control Valve. We regret we have no up to date sections of the pump and valve, but are preparing drawings and will let you have copies as soon as we have completed them. However, we are enclosing prints of a pump and valve which are similar to the latest design with the exception of one or two points which are marked on the drawing, i.e. the pistons are now fitted with cup leathers, and a different fuel valve is now used. Trusting these will be of some use to you, Yours faithfully, H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} HOBSON, LTD., E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Dodson Technical Dept.
