| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.14/JH. 1280 13th October, 1937. Messrs. John Marston Ltd., WOLVERHAMPTON. For the attention of Mr.Dunn. Dear Sirs, Will you please cancel the order for a 25/30 H.P. matrix to E.61411 which Mr. Steadman gave you verbally yesterday. The need for this does not now arise as we shall not be ordering any new matrices for the 25/30 H.P. car in the MK.VI block, as our existing orders cover all the cars which will be made. Will you also please despatch to us by return the top and bottom tanks of the Mk.VI matrix unit which we returned to you and which you have just flow tested and tested for dissipation. We are today forwarding to you the necessary R.R. parts to complete the shutter set which you have made for us. With regard to dummy shutters since the writer returned from your Works, he learns that there is a slight doubt about the order for dummy shutter assemblies. We think therefore that it would be advisable not to proceed any further with tools for this job until you hear further from us. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
