Referring to former correspondence and sample pumps sent to us for inspection, etc., would you please note that the Sales Conference have approved of the standardisation of the 'Kismet Junior' pump as soon as possible, in place of the new Dunlop, the change being found necessary due to the impossibility of satisfactorily stowing the latter pump, especially on Chassis with low rakes of steering. ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} has arranged the purchase price. The sample pumps sent us are today being returned to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
