| -2- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smhh.20/KW.8.1.36. In your letter of the 6th you confirm that you are making us a 13½" plate with improved cushioning, but specify moulded facings. We are anxious to have Hyco facings if possible, and have instructed these in the official order. However, we are anxious not to delay the plate, and if Hyco facings are not available in time we should accept moulded facings. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
