Rolls-Royce, Limited, D E R B Y. Attention: Mr. M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Rigby. Dear Sirs, Many thanks for your letter advising the despatch of Brake Shoe Blanks and Wheel Cylinder Castings. These have now been received and we will put the machining of the Castings in hand as soon as possible. In view of the fact that we do not propose to make any charge for this experimental Brake Equipment, we think it would be best not to place an official order, as this will only complicate matters. Yours faithfully, AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS COMPANY LTD., F.{Mr Friese} G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} PARNELL. | ||
