SALES DIRECTOR'S OFFICE. 12th July 1932. Messrs. Rolls Royce Ld, DERBY. "Attention of Mr.H.E.West" Dear Sirs, We hasten to acknowledge receipt of yours of yesterday's date and beg to inform you that we hope to complete the sample set of instruments required by Conduit Street, on Thursday. The writer will be out of town for the next two days and in the circumstances proposes submitting these instruments to Major Sidgreaves on Friday. Should the matter be extremely urgent, however, our Chief Engineer - Mr.Dorer - will be very pleased to arrange to submit them on Thursday afternoon. We note that you require a second set of instrument made up for inspection at your end, and we are making arrangements accordingly. We should like to point out that the production of these special hand-made dials is rather costly, as in each case they are dealt with entirely by hand. Whilst we are only too delighted to take care of your requirements, we are sure that you would like to have this information before you. Always at your service. Yours faithfully, For S.SMITH & SONS (MOTOR ACCESSORIES) LD. SALES DIRECTOR CWN/HB.{C. E. Harcombe} | ||
