For the attention of Mr. Parnell. Dear Sirs, We are sending you an official order for one master cylinder 1 1/4" bore, but without the integral cast reservoir. We appreciate your remarks that this type of cylinder as being taken off production and that we will not be able to obtain these later and hope that if and when we require a 1 1/4" dia. cylinder we will be able to use your standard type. If you are publishing a new catalogue of the range of parts you intend to standardise, we should like to receive a copy for future reference. Thanking you for your prompt attention. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
