Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG.18/SW.

16th June, 1941.

The Empire Rubber Co.,
Dunstable,
Beds.

Dear Sirs,

We thank you for your letter of June 12th with reference to door glass buffer No.RB.{R. Bowen}12140.

Will you please make a single cavity mould and supply us with six buffers as soon as possible. We should like this in a black waxed rubber and to be as soft as possible. Our official order for this will follow.

Enclosed is a print showing a section of a weatherstrip for a sliding rood No.RB.{R. Bowen}15118, the length of this will be 40". It is to be used as a seal between the sliding panel and the fixed panel on a Saloon roof.

We shall be glad to know if you have any sponge rubber of a similar section that would be suitable for the purpose.

We shall require two lengths of this.

Yours faithfully,
FOR ROLLS-ROYCE, LTD.,
