Rolls-Royce Ltd, DERBY Ref: RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/STD.3/MH{M. Huckerby} Dear Sirs, In further reference to your letter dated the 11th instant, we are pleased to inform you that we have posted to you under separate cover to-night further samples of tee hose connection, on which we have endeavoured to correct the points raised in your letter. Unfortunately we find that we should have to produce a newly designed shaper to prepare a sample to meet the requirements specified in your letter. You will appreciate from previous correspondence that we have had difficulties which we had not anticipated, when we considered the blueprint sent with your enquiry. As we had to make several alterations to the plant we have produced the most satisfactory connection possible. Awaiting the favour of your further remarks in connection with the above and assuring you of our closest co-operation at all times, we remain, Yours faithfully FOR THE COMPANY (Handwritten Notes: Water P/STD) (Left Margin Text: All Contracts and Orders are booked, and Quotations given, subject to our right to withdraw or cancel same (without liability on our part), by reason of the interruption of due delivery, short supplies, or abnormally affected prices of Raw Material, arising from Strikes, Fire, or through causes beyond our control.) | ||
