SALES DIRECTOR'S OFFICE. 7th July 1936. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Attention of Mr. W.A.Robotham. Dear Sirs, Further in reference to the writers call upon you on Wednesday last, our Fitting Manager has now had an opportunity of examining the Phantom lll fitted with D.W.S. Jacks. He reports that unfortunately the diameter of the rams differs from our own Jacks. In the circumstances it is going to be a rather difficult matter to arrange interchangeability. However, we would appreciate it exceedingly if, in the first place, you would very kindly let us have a drawing of each of the four Jack brackets. Thanking you in anticipation, Yours faithfully, For S. SMITH & SONS (MOTOR ACCESSORIES) LTD. [Signature] SALES DIRECTOR. | ||
