SES/DB.{Donald Bastow - Suspensions} 1st January, 1941. Messrs. Rolls Royce Limited, D E R B Y. Dear Sirs, Further to your letter of the 5th December last with reference to your request that we should quote you on a production basis for tin gaiters to your leaf springs, we would inform you that up to the time of writing, the experimental springs to which you require us to fit the tins gaiters have not yet arrived at these works. We are quite familiar with the type of gaiter you would require and should be only too pleased to fit these to your pair of springs immediately they arrive, and also to give you our price for lots of 500 off. Yours faithfully, p.p. RUBERY, OWEN & CO. LTD. S. Blake Manager-Metal Aircraft Dept. | ||
