Huckerby} 25th June 1938. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Limited, DERBY. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. C.S. Steadman. We desire to thank you for your esteemed favour of the 23rd inst. and are pleased to hear that you are interested in our Car Heater, built-in scheme. We shall be very pleased to make you up a sample to our drawing No.EX.Y.10529, less radiator, and it would take about two to three weeks to complete the job. Naturally it will have to be hand made. It has occurred to us, however, that for the purpose of the test you might be able to manage with the standard HaDees Blower C.H.A.2, as per print enclosed, which is almost identical with our new production design with the exception that it is a little larger and the tangential outlet is the opposite way round. If you can manage with C.H.A.2, that is, the standard HaDees unit we could deliver from stock. If you decide to have EX.Y.10529, we shall be pleased to receive your official order, but we are afraid the price will have to be decided later due to it having to be hand made. In any case we can adjust any excess charge we have to make in the event of you favouring us with your business. contd: To avoid delay all envelopes should be addressed to the firm. | ||
