| 1153 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}2/MH.{M. Huckerby} 1st. December 1938. Messrs. Delco-Remy & Hyatt Ltd., 111, Grosvenor Road, LONDON, S.W.1. Dear Sirs, Thank you for your letter WTB/RS.{Sir Henry Royce's Secretary} of the 30th. November. Contrary to our expectation we can obtain as a special bearing from an English manufacturer, a bearing of the same dimensions and ball sizes as your No. 43308, at a price considerably less than you quote. We shall not, therefore, be ordering such a bearing from you. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
