| 6003 RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.12/MH.{M. Huckerby} Messrs. S.Smith & Sons Ltd., Cricklewood Works, London, N.W.2. 9th. September 1937. For the attention of Mr.P.O.Dorer. Dear Sirs, Referring to your letter of the 7th. inst. we have noted the remarks therein and have accordingly modified our drawing EXS.14, to bring it in line with Scheme (3) on your print. The only difference from your scheme is that we do not require "lbs/sq.ins." and "°c" marking on the dial, but the words "Press." and "Temp." as shown. This was an oversight on our part before. We enclose herewith your print marked up, and a print of our modified EXS.14. We would appreciate anything you can do to urge the delivery of this thermometer. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS - ROYCE LTD. | ||
