| -2- With reference to the large capacity pumps, mentioned in your letter to Mr. Hives. We are arranging to fit one of these pumps to a Bentley and we shall no doubt be sending you the casting for this shortly, so that you can complete the unit. The standard 5/16" piping will be used on this car, special adaptors being made to suit. There will also be a slight modification as shown on the attached sketch. This is done with a view to making the pump suitable for either the Bentley or R.R. Will you please be good enough to let us have a detailed drawing of the large capacity Pump, as I believe you had slightly to modify the last casting we sent you and we want to bring our drawings into line with yours. Trusting you have had a good holiday. Yours sincerely, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
