IMPORTERS & EXPORTERS OF COMPLETE EQUIPMENT FOR THE ENGINEERING MOTOR & ALLIED TRADES. 31st December, 1931. Messrs. Rolls Royce, Ltd., Derby. Dear Sirs, re "Cylo" Silencers. Referring to your letter of the 16th inst., we have been going carefully into the matter of a Silencer to your Blue Print No. E82762, but are sorry that we are not quite sure in regard to the cut-out you mention. We shall be glad, therefore, if you will kindly let us know if your arrangement of this cut-out is absolutely necessary, or would it be satisfactory to you if we arranged this not quite in accordance with your own design. If it is essential that this should be exactly in accordance with your own design, would you please give us some more details, as your Blue Print does not enable us to decide as to the way in which this cut-out is to function. We are sorry to have to trouble you again, but we are anxious to design a Silencer which will give you entire satisfaction. Thanking you in anticipation, We are, Yours faithfully, CHILLCOTTS LTD. Augusto Chillcott Director. | ||
