Rolls Royce Limited, Experimental Department, DERBY. Dear Sirs, We are much obliged for your letter of the 21st instant, addressed to our Doncaster Office, and note that although you have not yet made a final decision in regard to the use of this Strand you wish to carry out some experimental work on the 19 wire .012" size. As the cost of 50ft. is so small we are quite willing to send you this length as a sample, without charge, and are, therefore, arranging for our Works to despatch it to you direct and should arrive in the course of the next day or so. As mentioned in our letter of the 17th instant, we deal with these small Strands at the Charlton address and, therefore, it would be of considerable assistance to us in avoiding delay if you will send any further communications direct to us at Anchor & Hope Lane, Charlton, London, S. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} 7. Assuring you of our best attention at all times, Yours faithfully, for BRITISH ROPES SOUTHERN (SALES) LTD., H.C. Ashcroft. | ||
