| ~629 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.13/KW. 10th January, 1935. Messrs. Currus Ltd, 204-206, Great Portland Street, London, W.1. Dear Sirs, Replying to your letter of the 9th inst., ref. HJ/WAC, we have examined the switches sent to us and consider switch A to be quite suitable where it is not convenient for the switch to be built into the dashboard. In cases where the switch is built in we prefer to use a switch of more robust construction than the two you have, submitted (B and C). We are therefore sending you under separate cover a sample of the type of switch required, returning also your sample switches B and C. Will you please let us know if you could supply this type of switch when returning the sample. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
