Messrs.Rolls-Royce Ltd., Expl.Dept. DERBY. 3rd.November 1925. Dear Sirs, We are in receipt of yours of the 28th ult. re special Suction Elbows we recently supplied to you. We are willing to supply these as a standard fitment on our Autovacs to you but regret we cannot give you the cost at the moment, as these were made in our Experimental Department. We do not think there will be any decrease in efficiency by having these Suction Elbows fitted, as they do not come into operation only when there is a very high suction. Should you decide to have these Elbows fitted as standard kindly give us about one month's notice, as it will necessitate our obtaining special brass pressings. Yours faithfully, For. AUTOVAC MFG. COMPANY LTD. Manager. | ||
