Messrs.Rolls-Royce,Ltd., Expl. Dept. Derby. Dear Sirs, We beg to thank you for your letter of the 16th inst., and confirm our telephone message of yesterday afternoon, to the effect that the third unit with pump connection for K.S.180 gauges, to be fitted in the new position, will complete the three replacement units for these gauges. We hope to despatch the nickel plated pump to you not later than to-morrow, when the first pump sent can be returned for nickel plating of the exterior fitting. Both pumps are of the same diameter, and can be installed through the facia board; the only difference being that one is for installation from the front and the other from the back. With regard to the 20 h.p. gauges K.S.155, we regret | ||
