The Automotive Products Co.Ltd., Tachbrook Road, Leamington Spa. For the attention of Mr. Parnell. Dear Sirs, As we explained over the telephone this afternoon, the wheel cylinder of 1¼" diameter sent to us on loan is unsuitable, as its overall dimensions are too large. We are accordingly returning it under separate cover. Will you please send us as soon as possible our own sample wheel cylinder, as we are going to do as you suggest and mount it the opposite way round. We would be glad to receive the master cylinder as soon as possible, and when we have this mounted, in about a week's time, we would be glad if you would send a man over to make the necessary pipe line connections. We will write further about this when we are ready. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
