Dear Sirs, We are anxious to clear up the modified jack question, at the earliest possible date, although we do not doubt that you are doing your utmost to deliver the first set as soon as possible, we would take the opportunity of reminding you of the urgency of the job. The position is that we are anxious to put the jack on as a standard fitting immediately, we had hoped, by this date, to be able to say when we could commence fitting them. Our Sales Dept are worrying us for the information, which of course we are not in a position to give. In addition to this we have several chassis orders calling for D.W.S. jacks as an extra, and we are anxious to fit the improved type on these, rather than the old type. We know that the old type may fail and we do not wish to have to use them, more especially because the chassis to which they are to be fitted are for overseas use where ground clearance is particularly important. We hope that you will be in a position to let us have the first set at a very early date. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
