SALES DIRECTOR'S OFFICE. 29th November, 1935. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. For attention of Mr. W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 28th, reference Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}29/KW., contents of which we have carefully noted. It is indeed unfortunate that you are not able to conduct an independent analysis of the fluid removed from the Jackall system on the 21-G-IV chassis, particularly as our Engineer, Mr. Bailey, left a sample especially for this purpose. However, we are pleased that you are conducting further tests on the 20/25 HP., and we have sufficient faith in Jackall to be able to stand or fall on the results. Yours faithfully, For S. SMITH & SONS (MOTOR ACCESSORIES) LTD. [Signature] SALES DIRECTOR. | ||
