For the attention of Mr.E.A.Turrall, Chief Inspector.

Dear Sirs,

We thank you for your letter of the 11th June, concerning the pair of Bentley rear hubs which we sent you for examination. Will you please let us know whether you can say from this examination if the material is identical with that supplied for Rudge-Whitworths in our previous batches of hubs.

As to the disposal of this particular pair of hubs, we suggest you scrap them as they are of no further use.

Yours faithfully,

FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD.
