| Experimental Dept. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/STD. 13/MH.{M. Huckerby} 11th. November 1938. Messrs. S.Smith & Sons Ltd., Cricklewood Works, LONDON, N.W.2. For the attention of Mr. Grosé. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of 9th. inst. and note that you will be sending us a sample heater with separate motor unit very shortly - we shall be very interested to receive this. Also the "Aerolating" system described in enclosed folder appears attractive and we shall be interested to hear of your developments in this direction. Meanwhile, we are returning to you two "HaDees" sample heaters which you sent us on loan in order that we could judge the noise made by same. Neither have been used other than for this purpose but one is short of the fan, motor and fan volute casing which we have used for an experimental job here. We are therefore sending you an official order for these three pieces. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
