Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. hW.Rh {R. Hollingworth} /SMJ Ref: RM {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /STD.5./MH {M. Huckerby} Dear Sirs, Reverting to our letter concerning the complaint made by you on the 14th instant, regarding hose connections which have been supplied in Y.S.13/1633.K. quality, we are pleased to inform you that a sample hose connection part number E.8899.5 has been posted to you under separate cover to-day in F.W.12 quality. As previously advised you our Laboratory after carrying out numerous tests find that the above mentioned quality is the most resistant to the corrosion inhibitor which is used by you, and we should be much obliged if you could submit it to test and let us have your report at the earliest possible moment as we presume that you will wish to specify this quality in the event of it proving more satisfactory than Y.S.13/16.33.K. quality. Yours faithfully, FOR THE COMPANY.
