O.{Mr Oldham} KENNINGTON, C. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} BARTLETT. BRADFORD STREET. BIRMINGHAM. OUR REF. CNF/DMT. YOUR REF. 19th August, 1932 Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., Derby. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Robotham, Experimental Dept. With further reference to the writer's recent conversation with you at your works in connection with AC. petrol pumps, we have pleasure in advising you that we have now been able to make up a large capacity pump to suit your layout, and this is being sent under separate cover marked for your attention. This pump is our large capacity type, and having a larger diaphragm displacement should assist in overcoming your priming troubles. We shall be glad if you can arrange to have this pump tested, and look forward to receiving your remarks regarding its behaviour at your convenience. We would mention that up to the present we have not manufactured the large capacity pump in England, owing to the fact that we have been able to satisfy the demands of various manufacturers with our standard type, but if you find this type suitable for your requirements we shall be quite agreeable to go ahead with production in Birmingham. Yours faithfully, THE AC-SPHINX SPARKING PLUG CO. LTD., C.N. FAULCONBRIDGE. MAKERS OF AC SPARKING PLUGS - AC AIR CLEANERS - AC PETROL PUMPS - AC PETROL GAUGES - AC OIL FILTERS - AC OIL GAUGES | ||
