| Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Date 20.7.28. Page 2 this blue-print to Mr. Day, CamachaHenry Royce's office in West Wittering, West WitteringHenry Royce's home town, Mr. Chichester at the same time that we send one to you, and we hope to send these off not later than mid-day to-morrow. You will realise that the instrument itself has been made somewhat ahead of the installation drawings etc., We note with satisfaction that our efforts on behalf of the gauge for Mr. Royce's car have up till now met with success. We have asked our installation representative, who is with you to-day, to get your permission to follow the car to the coachbuilders when the final facia board has been made, so that the instrument may then be coupled up with the air line and pressure balance line in a dry condition. Also so that the coachbuilders may not lose the liquid from the instrument, which is installed in a dummy facia board, we have instructed Holt to cap the instrument off, so that it can be handled with immunity without spilling. We shall be much obliged if you will facilitate our following this instrument right up to the finish, to ensure a successful issue. Assuring you at all times of our best attention, We remain, dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, H.M.HOBSON, Ltd., Joint Managing Director. | ||
