For the attention of Mr. Rowbotham. ============================== Dear Sirs, In reply to yours reference E.6/HN{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} dated the 16th inst., we thank you for blueprints of Petrol Tank for Mr. Hall's Car. As we are anxious to have two points specially noted by you, we are sending blueprints (Nos.30035 and 30036), to call your attention to them, hoping you will arrange for such when making up the new tank. As these prints are self-explanatory we need not explain their object. Can you give us the faintest idea as to when you are likely to send and fit the tank; our position is that we are now panelling the Body and shall be ready to finally mount it in a weeks time. We do not however, propose to do this before the new tank is fitted. Thanking you for your kind assistance. Yours faithfully, J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} R.{Sir Henry Royce} Ridlington THE J.R.
