Head Offices, Works and Design Dept.: DALLOW ROAD, LUTON. 10th. September, 1935. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Hardy. With reference to the writer's conversation with your Mr. Hardy over the telephone this morning in connection with your order 9018E, we have now gone thoroughly into the matter, and we are afraid, due to the fact that as stated in our letter of the 5th instant that certain tools and gauges have to be made for these special items, the very best we can do to get these through is the 25th instant. You will appreciate that once the tools and the gauges are made and the machines set up it will take very little difference in time to complete the first and the last of the items required, and for this reason we hope to be able to complete the whole of the items specified under this order on that date. We trust that this delivery will not be too late for your requirements, and we are sorry we cannot see our way to get them through before then. Assuring you of our best attention at all times, We are, Yours faithfully, for ADAMANT ENGINEERING COMPANY, LIMITED. Director. p.t.o. | ||
