Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Nightingale Road, DERBY. RECEIVED Dear Sirs, HYDROMETER SYRINGES. YOUR ORDER GG.620. We thank you for your esteemed order of the 30th. ult. as above, but regret to inform you that our stock is now exhausted. These goods, as you are doubtless aware, are of American manufacture and under the conditions at present prevailing further importation is impossible. We have sent you, however, 4 celluloid ones - our spares - thinking that if you require them for use in your works you will find them more serviceable than glass. Yours faithfully, THE BRITISH WILLARD BATTERY CO. LTD. | ||
