Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}13/KT. Our Ref. PGM/AGS/CB. Head Offices, Works and Design Dept.: DALLOW ROAD, LUTON. 13th. October, 1932. RECEIVED 14 OCT 1932 Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Robotham. We are duly in receipt of your favor of the 12th instant, reference as above, as also of your drawing F.79770 which has our careful attention. We also have to report that the drop arm stamping has arrived this morning. As regards delivery of the steering, as you are aware this entails certain modifications, including the pressing of the flange on the nose which makes it necessary to carry this steering box by itself through the various operations. We are, however, hoping to complete this gear by Wednesday next, the 19th instant, and shall be despatching it to you by passenger train as soon as ever it is completed. Assuring you of our best attention at all times, We are, Yours faithfully, for ADAMANT ENGINEERING COMPANY LIMITED. (Signature) Director. | ||
