YOUR REF. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} 6/MH. {M. Huckerby} OUR REF. JAC/W. 27th June, 1939. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. For the attention of Mr. Grylls. Dear Sirs, We are in receipt of your letter of the 26th instant and have carefully noted your remarks. We also conclude that you are rather in favour of arrangement 2 and we note that you would prefer the extreme edges not chromium plated . We are, therefore, quoting you on these lines. Also, as requested, we are giving you a price for arrangement 1, and for the hub caps GW.2273 and GB.5054 in the quantities stated. These we understand you suggest using in conjunction with arrangement 2. The cost details are being gone into very carefully, and we will write to you in the course of a post or so, giving you the final figures. There is one point we would like to clear up, and that is, do you intend us to supply the steel splined retaining fixture for the disc which you call a spider, or is this to be made by the wheel manufacturers ? Yours faithfully, For CORNERCROFT LIMITED. J. {Mr Johnson W.M.} Alan Corner Joint Managing Director. | ||
