| Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.3/JH. 9th January, 1936. Messrs John Marston & Co. Ltd., Wolverhampton. For the attention of Mr Southall. Dear Sirs, As discussed in our telephone conversation of today, we are forwarding you an official order for a 58.m.m. Mk.VI matrix to EB 2153, which you will supply to us at the earliest possible moment. We should like this matrix to have the improvements which you have made as a result of your tests, and also .005 tinned water warp and .004 untinned centre strips, if these features will not materially delay delivery. We await with interest the cost figures which Mr Dunn promised to send us. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS ROYCE LTD. | ||
