Dear Sirs, Further to our conversation yesterday, regarding the automatic starting carburetter in the Bentley. I mentioned the matter to Mr. Robotham. He suggests that you supply us with the induction pipe and carburetters complete, together with the thermastatic control unit, we will then fit it to a car and bring it over to your works for final adjustment. With regard to the 25/30 H.P. induction pipe, this will be despatched immediately. It was instructed for despatch before Christmas but owing to an oversight the instructions given were not carried out and we apologise. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
