London, N.W.2.

For the attention of Mr. Dorer.

Dear Sirs,

We are to-day returning to you one thermometer to DB.{Donald Bastow - Suspensions}1360 which you have supplied with special small diameter coils to minimise risk of breakage.

We require this thermometer to have a capillary 1'6" longer than its present one. Will you please fit it with such a capillary and provide the small diameter coils close up to the bulb. We would like to receive this instrument back with a minimum of delay as it has to be fitted to a car which is going abroad shortly.

Our official order will follow immediately.

Yours faithfully,

for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD.
