YOUR REFERENCE.................... 18th July, 1939. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Nightingale Rd. DERBY. ATTENTION: MR. MARTINDALE Dear Sirs, We now have the tools for forming the central eye and have accordingly rolled these eyes, which have been causing you trouble. We are, however, still awaiting the tools for the ordinary eye, but we anticipate receiving these in a day or so. Should you be agreeable, we could roll these eyes as before, and so help towards giving you a quicker delivery: if not, we should like to know whether you prefer us to wait until the tools arrive before carrying on. Yours faithfully, For TOLEDO WOODHEAD SPRINGS LTD. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Spittlehouse | ||
