JNL/KM [Handwritten]: Mdu Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/StD Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., Derby. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. C. S. Steadman. We acknowledge your letter of August 31st enquiring for bonnet rest exactly similar to the sample you enclosed, (our quality S.6891) but to be .160" thick. Unfortunately, this width and thickness is not a standard and it will take us some few days to get a sample woven specially. We are proceeding to do this without delay and will advise you when the material is available. Yours faithfully, FERODO LIMITED [Signature] Chief Chemist & Director. | ||
