| 43117 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring}4/KW. 9th November, 1934. Messrs. S. Smith & Sons Ltd., Cricklewood Works, London, N.W.2. For attention of Mr. C.W. Nichols. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter following up your telephone conversation of the 7th inst. We note that your Fitter will be coming here on Tuesday next, and we will see that he has all necessary assistance. Is the writer correct in understanding that the "Jackall" Pressure Pump to be fitted to 5-B-IV will have the release control on top of the box instead of on the side ? This scheme would appear far more accessible than the present one, and as you point out will not require so much cutting away from the floorboard. We will report to you as soon as possible on the behaviour of the two-stage Jacks which will be fitted next Tuesday. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
