| XU 523 Expl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}4/MJ. March 12th.1930. The Nivex Gauge Co.Ltd., Tipping Street, Ardwick, MANCHESTER. Dear Sirs, We are in receipt of the gauge head and tank unit for our 40/50 car. The objection that we have at the moment to the gauge, is that though you have given metal unions at the tank end of the lines we have only rubber connections at the dash-board end. We should be obliged if you could look into the question of providing us with a gauge head and pump fitted with metal unions, as rubber connections will never be acceptable on Rolls-Royce cars. Yours faithfully, For Rolls-Royce Ltd. | ||
