| Messrs.Rolls-Royce,Ltd., Date 26.10.28. Page 2 spacing, except in special instances where there is no time We marked Mr.Royce's car from the gauge readings on the actual mask. We think you will realise that it is safer for us to work as a basis from the tank calibration, and develop our mask therefrom, rather than work backwards from the gauge readings given on one particular unit and gauge. We should be much obliged if you would afford us facilities for checking the correctness of the particulars to which we are making gauges for your orders at present in hand. The writer would like to take the opportunity of visiting you on Wednesday or Thursday of next week, if you would indicate which day would suit you. Assuring you at all times of our best attention, We remain, dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, H.M.HOBSON,Ltd., T.P.Searight Joint Managing Director. | ||
