Dear Sirs,

In confirmation of a discussion with Mr. Johnson we are issuing an official order for various types of bearings for experimental trial.

Included in this order are bearings in the new 3-layer material in accordance with your layout L.1118 for a 2.750 diameter journal crank. This item we understand means a tool cost of approximately £75 to which we agree.

Yours faithfully,
for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD.
