| 136 Experimental Department July 9th 1937 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell}6/AP. Messrs C. & B.Smith Ltd., Ironfounders, Stewart Street, WOLVERHAMPTON. Dear Sirs, It was not until the last few days that I saw your reply of the 21st. June in response to my letter of the 18th. June, for some experimental tappets to Ex.28101. Your letter had apparently been sent to our Mr.Royce, however, we note that you mentioned delivery in approximately 10 days time. Up to the present we have not received these tappets and would be obliged if you have not already despatched them, if you would address them to me personally, which short circuits any delay that might occur when they arrive at the Works. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
