November 3rd 1931. Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Limited, Nightingale Road, DERBY. Dear Sirs, Your Ref.:- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/M.J. 28.3.31. At the beginning of May last we delivered to you a sample barrel of Special Aviation Fuel to Air Ministry Specification D.T.D.134, and you very kindly promised to carry out a test of this with a view to giving us a share of your orders for this product. When we wrote to you, you informed us at the end of July that you had not so far been able to carry out the necessary tests and that you would let us know as soon as these were completed. We should be much obliged if you would kindly let us know how the matter now stands as we are anxious to secure a share of your orders for this Special Aviation Fuel. We should also very much like to retain your orders for ordinary No.1. motor spirit of which you had several deliveries from us, the last being in March of this year. We believe you were entirely satisfied with the quality of the spirit and we hope you can see your way clear to favour us with some regular orders. Thanking you in anticipation of your reply, We are, Yours faithfully, Carless, Capel & Leonard [STAMP: NATIONAL SCHEME FOR DISABLED MEN] | ||
