Dear Sir, We have now got an experimental tank design for the single air line installation with central vent. We send you herewith a blue print of the scheme in question in order that you may proceed to manufacture the tank unit without waiting for details. You will, of course, treat the drawings as confidential. We should be much obliged if you can let us know how soon you can let us have a tank unit to suit this design and at the same time are returning to you the 20 HP. tank unit which you were good enough to let us have some time ago. We are sorry we have not returned it before but Mr. Royce has had it. Yours faithfully, For Rolls-Royce Ltd. | ||
