REGENT 5138 TELEGRAMS: MANAGERIAL PICCY, LONDON For attention Mr. Robotham. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}10/KW. 25th May, 1934. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Experimental Dept. DERBY. Dear Sirs, In reply to your letter of the 18th instant, we regret that we are unable to exchange a No. 10 for a No. 11 blower. We trust that you will not construe this as indicating that we are being unhelpful in this matter, as on the contrary, we have every desire to co-operate with you, but we are unable to meet constant calls for "one-offs", and it is not our policy to merchant Superchargers. The writer would appreciate the opportunity of discussing this matter and the future generally with Mr. Elliott when he is next in London, to explain our position more fully. Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of SUPERCHARGERS LTD. F.S. Fisher Secretary. | ||
