| x1166 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring}11/KW. 10th March, 1936. D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} Sessions, Esq., Messrs. Donald Sessions & Co.Ltd., 906, Harrow Road, Willesden, LONDON, N.W.10. Dear Mr. Sessions, Many thanks for your letter of the 9th inst. We agree that the wording on our instruction plate for the D.W.S. Jack operation is rather misleading, and it has been agreed that we adopt your suggestion. I have notified our Production D.O., and no doubt you will hear from them very soon, re the alteration of wording on the control knobs from "On" to "Open". On the drawing showing the 3 control knobs, you have marked them in the following order :- "Release Open", "Front Open", "Rear Open". We presume this is a mistake, and that the release control still remains the centre knob. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
