Our Reference WP/HMD. Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY. 26th February 1934. Dear Sirs, Replying to your communication of the 23rd instant, regarding the Experimental Bentley Brake Mechanism Covers, we fully explained in a previous letter that we were hoping that one of the moulds would be completed this weekend, and if satisfactory we then hoped to complete the other two by the end of this week. However, a slight modification has been necessary for this first mould, which should be completed to-night, and if the resulting Cover is satisfactory we hope that the other two Moulds will be finished by Monday next. We should then do our utmost to post you one set of these Covers on Monday evening. We cannot definitely promise to adhere strictly to this time, but you can rest assured that everything possible will be done. Yours faithfully, DESMO LIMITED. (Signature) TECHNICAL DEPT.
