| X1263 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems}16/KW. 8th September, 1936. The S.U. Company Ltd., East Works, Adderley Park, Birmingham 8. For the attention of Mr. Skinner. Dear Sirs, Thank you for your letter of the 7th inst. I have been unable to trace any drawings that should have been sent to you ever having been despatched. This appears to be due to a misunderstanding here, and we apologise. In the meantime we would be glad if you could supply us with two pumps having the new magnet pots mounted on the flat base bodies you already have. This will enable us to try out the scheme on the car without delay. I will bring with me to-morrow the necessary drawings for the complete arrangement as designed here. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
