SALES DIRECTOR'S OFFICE. 9th July 1932. WST Messrs. Rolls Royce Ld, DERBY. "Attention of Mr.H.E.West" Dear Sirs, EXPERIMENTAL 20/25 INSTRUMENT DIALS. We beg to acknowledge receipt of yours of yesterday's date regarding the above and beg to inform you that we received a request from Major Sidgreaves on Thursday last to submit a set of photostats exactly as inspected by your goodselves. These were approved subject to slight modifications. The sample set of instruments is being made up and,immediately upon completion towards the end of next week, will be submitted to Conduit Street for final approval. Regarding your remarks re Ammeter Dial - we have not thought it necessary to submit a photostat for the reason that the only alteration suggested in this instance was the introduction of your trade mark. We have arranged to include an Ammeter Dial with our set of instruments which we are submitting to Conduit Street next week. Always at your service. Yours faithfully, For S.SMITH & SONS (MOTOR ACCESSORIES) LD. SALES DIRECTOR | ||
