Cornercroft Ltd., Ace Works, Queen Victoria Road, COVENTRY. For the attention of Mr. Corner. Dear Sirs, Thank you for your letter of July 11th. enclosing the new quotation for the two kinds of wheel disc in which the tool cost has been separated out. We should like to test on an experimental car a set of discs made to Scheme 1. We understood, however, from Mr. Hope that the sample we have was a very expensive, hand-made job, and we are wondering at what price you would supply us with another three so that we can run a complete set on one of our Continental tests. In the meantime we are likely to be wanting small quantities of Scheme 2 until such time as Scheme 1 has been decided. Would you, therefore, send us a drawing of Scheme 2 to keep in our records. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
