| 6110. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wst.1/AP. May 29th 1937 Messrs Johnson & Phillips Ltd., CHARLTON, LONDON S.E.7 Dear Sirs, High Tension Ignition Cable for R.R. and Bentley chassis. You will remember that we have been experimenting with an ozone proof ignition cable manufactured by yourselves, and whilst we agree that this cable is far superior to any other we have tested we are loathe to standardise it because of its excessive cost. We should be glad therefore if you could arrange to have the cost looked into with a view to quoting us a more favourable price for the same. We should like you to give us a full description of this cable in order that we can correctly specify the same. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED | ||
