Hanbury - Head Complaints} Bucks. Attention Mr. Lawes. Dear Sirs, You will remember that we rig tested one of your "David" petrol pumps in June. We now wish to carry out some tests on the actual job, and we are therefore sending our official order for four more P.12a. Mk.II units. We shall be grateful if you would make a check on the hand priming of these pumps. We mentioned this in our letter of June 7th. We should like the pumps to be fitted with ½" gas unions, both inlet and outlet. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED, | ||
