Dear Sirs, Herewith as discussed at Earl's Court, a drawing of the wheel disc on which we want bonded a rubber ring. We should be grateful if you would send us a quotation for fixing a rubber strip to one thousand such discs. As regards the chromium plating, we should like your views on how to protect the rubber during this process. Alternatively would you do the plating, and if so, at what cost. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
