Rolls-Royce Limited, DERBY. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. J.C. Bowering. Re Chassis Lubrication Pumps. With reference to your letter of the 5th November, addressed for the attention of Mr. Pitt of Luvax Limited, and their reply of the 9th, regarding alteration to the length of the piston rod and cylinder, and necessary modification to the upper end of the pedal. We are asked to confirm that this modification will cost you an extra 1/6d per unit for the first 150 pumps as it entails certain tool alteration. After 150 we could reduce this to 9d each extra. We hope this information will be sufficient for your needs. Yours faithfully, JOSEPH LUCAS LIMITED. C.M. Smith. Electrical Department. | ||
