| COPY FROM:- NORTH & SONS LTD., WHIPPENDALE ROAD, WATFORD. Our ref. CHK/IT.5. 10th November, 1927. Your ref. EY1/G8.11.27. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. Dear Sirs, MAGNETOS: We thank you for your letter of the 8th inst., and are pleased to note that you will in the near future standardise the sleeveless magneto, samples of which have been submitted to you for test. We have looked carefully into the matter of the progress made in the making of tools for the production of this magneto and in view of the present condition of these we think it would be possible to commence delivery in fair quantities early in January. With regard to the Model E06 Magneto which you have been using, we beg to say that we have about 50 magnetos in an advanced condition, some of which have already been assembled. If this quantity is not likely to be sufficient to meet your requirements up to the time that the new model will be in production, will you kindly advise us so that additional machines may be put in hand. Yours faithfully, NORTH & SONS, LTD. (SGD) G.H.Kirby. | ||
