Rolls-Royce, Limited, DERBY. 14th Jan: 1937. For the attention of F.{Mr Friese} J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Hardy, Esq. Dear Sirs, Confirming telephonic conversation of this afternoon, we are arranging to let you have a quotation for the existing type of lead weights, made from an alloy containing 8% antimony. It is thought that we can cast these weights in the existing moulds with the exception of the large one, for which a new mould will definitely be necessary. Regarding the sample Bumper incorporating a rubber cushion in the dash pots, we hope to have this finished and in your hands by the end of this week. Yours faithfully, p.p.
