| X4516. COPY. The Airscrew Company, Ltd., Thames Street, WEYBRIDGE. Surrey. 18th March, 1931. Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., 14-15, Conduit Street, LONDON, W.1. Dear Sirs, Following up your representative's visit this afternoon, we have been closely into the matter, but find we have not suitable Airscrews or blocks which we can convert for your special purpose. We are prepared, however, to waive the usual design fee and manufacture a fourbladed Screw for the sum of £18.18.0., this figure being based on the assumption that you will be able to incorporate a hub of the Hawk type. We trust this price will enable you to pass us an order, which shall have careful and personal attention. Yours faithfully, THE AIRSCREW COMPANY, LIMITED.
