| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs}2/JH. 21st, March, 1 40. Messrs. Delco-Remy & Hyatt, 111, Grosvenor Road, LONDON.S.W.1. For the attention of Mr. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Rushton. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 15th. March. We are pleased to note that you are able to supply us with the four U62NAZ type distributors with side outlet caps. With regard to your enquiry as to the number of distributors we are likely to require, we think two further 8 cylinder type will suffice. However, we shall require four more 6 cylinder type to DB.{Donald Bastow - Suspensions}1868 and if possible, six 4 cylinder type similar to those fitted to the Sunbeam-Talbot. We would also like a kit of spares such as levers, condensers, springs etc. Will you be able to supply these ? Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
