| 13 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}14/ML. 18.8.40. M.Olley,Esq., Rolls Royce Incorporated., 2-251, General Motors Building, DETROIT. Dear Olley, Here are two models of two difficult pieces on the 40 m.m. gun, together with the necessary detail drawings. In addition, we are sending you drawings Q.1204, Q1777 and Q 1711, which we would also like you to consider for sub-contracting. We are sending you these parts because they are likely to be the bottle-neck on production this side. We should like quotations for 500 and 5,000 sets. Yours sincerely, N.B. These prints and models have now been despatched under separate cover. (20.8.40.) | ||
