Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. 17th September, 1937. For the attention of Mr.Leslie. Dear Mr. Leslie, Many thanks for your letter of the 16th instant. I am very glad to have your metal experts views on the R.R.53.C. We have placed our order for pressure dies for these casings, without bushes, but have left enough metal to bore these out should bushes be required. The ultimate outcome of this will probably be that there will be a second size core in the die if bushes are required. There would be no objection on our part to fall in with your suggestion of us making the parts and supplying them to you for assembly without the valve; we are getting our a price for these. I will get in touch with you again about the beginning of next week and see which day will be most suitable for our discussion. Yours sincerely, p.p. THE GORDON ARMSTRONG PATENT SUSPENSION CO.LTD.
