Reply to be addressed to John Marston Limited for the attention of AWD/BR Your ref: RM {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /STD.7/MH {M. Huckerby} 14th November, 1938. [Handwritten initials: hWu Rms/STD] Messrs. Rolls Royce Limited, D E R B Y. For the attention of Mr. Steadman. Dear Sirs, In reply to your letter of the 9th inst., we note you require one dummy radiator for a mock-up chassis to be used by your Sales Department. We are agreeable to undertake this work and will, therefore, require an official order from you. We estimate it will take approximately 14 days to complete this job. With regard to the Wraith 80 inner radiator unit which we are making, this will be completed in 7/10 days' time, which we trust will be in time for your requirements. We note you are endeavouring to forward the remainder of the items for the Bentley 50 radiator, which is practically completed, as soon as possible. Yours faithfully, [Signature: A.W. Dunn] | ||
