Also enclosed is a drawing of a camshaft we should like to try (ExS.767) which is a modification to the samples you have already supplied us with to EW.1416. Will you please give us an estimate to alter the existing pattern for EW.1416 to suit the production of ExS.767 and quotation for the latter, also in quantities of 200 and 1000. You will note that this is a casting drawing and in accordance with your previous requirements .050 excess has been left on for casting. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
