| 1280 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.6/MH.{M. Huckerby} 26th. April 1938. The Leyland & Birmingham Rubber Co. Ltd., Leyland, LANCS. For the attention of Mr.Gollop. Dear Sirs, We have noted the contents of your letters of 21st. and 23rd. inst. and regret that cannot make any alterations to your quotation of 395/-d.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} per 100 for connections to EB.3748. We are at the moment making a cost estimation to determine whether it is worth while proceeding with this particular hose connection and will let you know further about this. Meanwhile, we naturally do not wish you to make any further formers and think that the second connection which you forwarded is an improvement over the first - we have, of course, not sectionned this connection, as we wish to use it. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. Experimental Dept. | ||
