Rolls-Royce Limited, DERBY. Dear Sirs, Automatic Mixture Controls. We must apologise for the fact that we did not reply to your letter (Ref: Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std/5/MA) dated the 4th December, which was accidentally overlooked. We despatched to you yesterday 1 Bentley Mixture Control, fitted with testing block and dial test indicator, for you to examine. This unit seems to us to be satisfactory and before making up a second we shall be glad if you will let us have your confirmation on this point. You will remember that we delivered one unit to you some months ago, but unfortunately it was found to be unsatisfactory and it was returned to us. When we have your report on the first unit we shall be glad if you will return it to us the test block and dial test indicator when we will make up the second unit and forward it to you with the least possible delay. Yours truly, THE PACKLESS GLAND COMPANY LIMITED. p.p. W. Martin-Hurst. Director. | ||
