For the attention of Maj. Searight.

Dear Sir,

We thank you for your letter of the 28th. instant.

We think the most satisfactory arrangement would be to incline the union for the vent pipe and then put a single set in the pipe to bring it snug to the top of the tank. We should be most interested to test this tank out when it is finished.

Yours faithfully,

For Rolls-Royce Ltd
