AF/JP. YOUR REF. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM{Anthony F. Martindale}/1/BA DATE 18th February 1939 Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY Dear Sirs, We wish to thank you for your letter of the 17th inst, and shall be pleased to supply eight shoes and carriers instead of four as previously arranged. We find that we have a small stock of shoes which were made for your previous order of 12" x 2 1/2" shoes and suggest that, in order to save time, we might use these as blanks for the new shoe. These shoes, however, are already drilled and we should be glad of your acceptance of these for the first four. For the second four shoes we shall have to obtain special blanks and this may take some little time but we will do our utmost to expedite delivery. Yours faithfully, for NEW HUDSON LTD., Alex Fraser GENERAL MANAGER. | ||
