FORT DUNLOP ERDINGTON BIRMINGHAM x1166 Messrs.Rolls Royce Ltd., Derby. 26th June 1936. For the attention of Mr.Grylls, Dear Sirs, New type 6 1/2" Double Lift Jack. With reference to the writer's conversation with you on Wednesday, we are now able to confirm that we can commence delivery of the new type Jacks on August 1st. We are communicating with your Buying Department direct regarding price, but have already taken steps to obtain the dies for the bodies. We have decided to make the sleeve out of a steel forging as the reduction round the neck would be unsafe in malleable. Trusting this arrangement will be satisfactory.
