For the attention of Mr. Martin Roberts. Dear Sirs, We are much indebted to you for your letter of January 23rd and for offering to make up this set of experimental pistons for us. The delivery date will be quite satisfactory. We should like to emphasize that the pistons are required for an experiment and we shall not criticise them on the score of durability at all; we merely wish to have the Aerolite characteristics on the test in question. For this reason we shall be glad if you will produce these pistons as economically as possible, and not spend a lot of money on the necessary equipment. Will you please let us have a price for 3 sets. We are much obliged to you for undertaking this work for us so expeditiously. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
