Dear Sirs, Thank you for your letter of the 30th. ult., and note that you are putting in hand two moulds which will produce belts similar to those we require ( drawings EB.3927 and EB.3948). We would, therefore, like you to send us three of each of these belts as soon as possible. We will be interested to hear when we can expect to receive these, and on receipt of this information we will send you our official order for same. We shall be glad to know when you are likely to be able to let us have some test results on the fan and drive which we sent you. We are particularly interested in this as we are putting this fan into service for complaint cases. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
