Messrs.Rolls-Royce,Limited, D E R B Y. For the attention of Mr.West. Dear Sirs, We confirm telephone conversation with your Mr.Childs' in which we requested three separate lengths of the High Tension Cable referred to in our Mr.F.G.Thacker's report on his recent visit to your works. The small length which arrived yesterday is not suitable for the tests which we should like to carry out before making a report, and therefore we trust you will be able to despatch us three 2' lengths as quickly as possible. We would also confirm having requested you to supply us with half-a-dozen Coil Tops to go with the Coil Cases you were kind enough to send us the other day, in order that we may proceed with the building up of these sample coils. Yours faithfully, JOSEPH LUCAS LIMITED. S Palmer Technical Sales Department. | ||
