Messrs Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY Dear Sirs, We have been advised by our Supply Department that in response to a telegram they have forwarded to you a print, Y.30519, of an aircraft type tank unit. We are however enclosing herewith prints Y.44980, Y.44981 and Y.47708, of later type tank units which are replacing the original type, and suggest that perhaps one of these would be more suitable for your requirements. The flange fixing holes are the same as on the earlier types so that they would be interchangeable. Assuring you of our best attention. Yours faithfully, for S. SMITH & SONS (MOTOR ACCESSORIES) LIMITED. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} S. K.{Mr Kilner} Russell ELECTRICAL ENGINEER. To avoid delay all envelopes should be addressed to the firm. x 262 33 | ||
