These were sent exactly as received from the manufacturers, and it has since transpired that 40 only should have been supplied instead of 48. There were apparently two different types i.e. 24 of each, and it is requested that the excess four of each type supplied may be returned here. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, Lieut. R.N.V.R. Officer i/c of Aircraft Engine Stores Messrs Rolls-Royce Ltd., Nightingale Road, Derby. | ||
