Messrs Rolls-Royce Ltd., Experimental Dept., DERBY. NOMAD Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Matthews. Further to our letter of the 13th instant regarding the supply of Pistons without flutes, we are pleased to advise you that the suggestion of building up the sand cores has proved to be quite satisfactory, and therefore it will not be necessary to make a new core box. We are proceeding on these lines and will make every effort to let you have the finished pistons in 14 - 21 days, which we trust will be in time for your requirements. Yours faithfully, FOR THE LIGHT PRODUCTION CO. LTD. C.H.B. Crookes GENERAL MANAGER. | ||
