Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY Dear Sirs, We are in receipt of your letter of the 17th inst., regarding the trouble you are having with the white grease with which the GIRLING BRAKE Expanders are packed and we note you have found that Mobiloil Grease No. 5 considerably diminishes this trouble and that you would like all expanders and adjusters packed with this grease in future. We are immediately obtaining supplies of this grease and you may definitely rest assured that all future supplies will be sent in packed with this grease instead of our standard K.G.20. Assuring you of our closest attention to your demands. Yours faithfully, for NEW HUDSON LIMITED., Alex Fraser GENERAL MANAGER. | ||
