| Expl: Dept: X4038 HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RML/LG. 17th. Aug. 1928. Messrs. H.M.Hobson Ltd., 47-55 Acton Vale, London W.3. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Major Searight. With reference to your letter ref. AJC/AML. of the 14th.inst. We are quite ready to modify our tanks to take the top plate casting KS.1640. Will you therefore please supply us with 2 complete balance units for the 40/50 HP. with these top plates. We suppose that the dashboard unit mask will be exactly the same length as heretofore but that the projection of the tube below the bottom of the mask will be very appreciably reduced. Yours faithfully, | ||
