Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Attention of Mr. W.A.Rowbotham. YOUR REF. Re/RC{R. Childs}/9/JH. OUR REF. SJ/YH. 19th April, 1940. SUBJECT Dear Sirs, As our Mr. B.Rushton is out of town to-day, the writer is giving attention to your letter of April 16th and has arranged for the Condensers and contact arms called for on your order No.20527 to be despatched to you to-day. In connection with the thrust washers for the six 6-cylinder distributors and the four 8-cylinder distributors recently supplied to you, we would point out that these were not supplied as in those cases where you have requested us to fit your own type of coupling to the distributors, your instructions have been that a thrust washer is not required. You will remember that in the case of the present units, no couplings were required, but as presumably these are for use in conjunction with a different type of coupling, we now have pleasure in enclosing a dozen thrust washers which will take care of your requirements. We will write you separately on the subject of the four-cylinder distributors which you require and also on radio suppression. Yours faithfully, for J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Coles Director.
