| 1280 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.6/JH. 6th August, 1937. Messrs. John Marston Ltd., Wolverhampton. For the attention of Mr.Dunn. Dear Sirs, Referring to the figure of £6.15.0. which you gave the writer as an approx. estimate for our Wraith radiator, less shell and shutter assembly, we are anxious to get a fair comparison between your figures and our own costs. Could you please let us have an exact list of the parts which you would supply for this price compiled from the drawings which we sent you. There are two or three items such as the steam escape pipe with flange (external) rear yoke bracing stays, radiator tubular stays etc. which are doubtful i.e. we do not know whether you have estimated for these or not. The writer would be very grateful if Mr. Dunn would ring him sometime tomorrow and let him have this information over the telephone. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
