Rolls Royce Limited, (Experimental Department,) D E R B Y. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Grylls. We are in receipt of yours of the 9th instant, and as far as our records go, they show that a completed Tank for your goodselves was passed into our Finished Stores some considerable time ago. It is not there now and there is no entry outwards, and we were under the impression that it was possible that this has been handed either to your goodself or to your Mr. Smith. However the matter is, we take it, satisfactorily dealt with, insofar as we despatched a fresh Supply Tank to you on Saturday last, addressed for the attention of Mr. Grylls. Yours faithfully, AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS COMPANY LTD., C. CLENCH, Development Department.
