YOUR REF. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}12/MH.{M. Huckerby} OUR REF. NR/W. 27th March, 1939. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. For the attention of Mr. Grylls. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 24th instant, and with further reference to our telephone conversation with you on this matter we would inform you that we have put the sample set of discs which you require in hand, and hope to let you have them by the end of the week. It is impossible to give you a price for this first sample set, as we cannot estimate the amount of hand work on the hub-cap, but after the job is complete we shall be able to quote you for a further 20 sets as requested. Will you kindly let us know by return whether you desire the dummy hub caps to be engraved, and if so, will you kindly send us the drawing number which is mentioned on PD.369. We are, Yours faithfully, For CORNERCROFT LIMITED. Joint Managing Director. | ||
