| 1280 Experimental Dept. Em/Std.10/MH. {M. Huckerby} 31st. October 1938. The Leyland & Birmingham Rubber Co. Ltd., Leyland, LANCS. For the attention of Mr. Gollop. Dear Sirs, Referring to our telephone conversation of yesterday re. rubber hose connection EW.2007, as this is only needed for one particular car, we have decided not to have a new former, but to use connection EB.3715 - however, if you could add 1" length to the straight portion (without a new former), we would like you to do this. Will you, therefore, please let us have as soon as possible two connections to EB.3715 modified in this manner if possible - our official order will follow immediately. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
