Messrs. Bowden (Engineers) Ltd.,
Willesden Junction,
LONDON, N.W.10.

Dear Sirs,
Your Ref. JRN/IT.

We thank you for your letter of the 14th instant, enclosing the graphs and also for the sample assemblies.

We are sending you some very rough drawings showing what we require in order to fit your cable system to the front of one of our cars. At the moment we shall not consider the rear of the car.

It appears that your T.6 Heavy Cable (as item 3) should give satisfactory results. The T.7 appears rather clumsy and less flexible.

We should like the outer cable to be water proof covered, and also the extended ends of the cable.

The drawings we are sending have been made in a very great hurry, so if you are not quite clear as to what is needed, we trust you will write to us.

Yours faithfully,

FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED.
