WMH/GN: Your Ref: ROY{Sir Henry Royce}/MS10/P. December 11th, 1935. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Limited. DERBY. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of December 10th. While in order to help you we would be prepared to reduce the price of the complete assembly FB. 2206 to 10/- each in lots of 200, we are afraid that for this diameter of bellows we could not go any lower. The high price is entirely due to the diameter of the bellows, and if you could reduce this we could drop the price considerably. Will you be good enough to let us know if this is possible? Yours truly, THE PACKLESS GLAND CO. LTD. [Signature] W. Martin-Hurst. Director. | ||
