[Stamped purple ink]: 23E Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Nightingale Road, D E R B Y. For the attention of W.A.Robotham Esq. Dear Sir, We thank you for your letter of the 4th instant and the information about a good pattern-making firm. With reference to the fitting kit, we had the greatest difficulty some time ago in getting small brass pipe fittings, particularly banjos. We have enquiries out again, but if you can suggest a suitable source of supply we should be grateful. The larger companies such as Rotherhams are hopeless. If the parts are made in our own works we cannot, of course, hope to compete in price with the repetition people and would prefer to get them outside if possible. Yours faithfully, For BRITISH FILTERS LTD. [Signature] Buyer. [Red Sticker]: ENCLOSURE P.S. We enclose drawing showing the type of parts we require. | ||
