Messrs Rolls-Royce Ltd., D E R B Y. Dear Sirs, LUVAX-BIJUR LUBRICATING PUMPS. In reply to your letter dated the 5th regarding increasing the volume of oil delivered per stroke, we have now looked into this, and find that to obtain the volume per stroke which you require it will be necessary to increase the length of the piston rod and the cylinder, and also to modify the upper end of the pedal. The depth of the slot in the pedal bracket will have to be modified to give the necessary clearance. We have asked our Birmingham office to quote you the increase in price. We are, Yours faithfully, FOR LUVAX LIMITED. Douglas | ||
