| COPY OF LETTER FROM MOTOR PANELS LTD., COVENTRY. 6.3.41. Messrs Rolls Royce Ltd., D E R B Y . Dear Sirs, re:- BENTLEY S.R.V. Saloon Press Tools. We beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 28th. ult. with respect to the location and storing of all tools and equipment, that has been laid out in our planning for the production of the above panels. The five items of information which you are asking for will be forwarded to you as early as possible, in the meantime we are making arrangements for the complete removal of our press tool stores. Whilst this is being carried out we will arrange for your dies to be opened out, checked, greased and painted with a corrosion preventative to prevent deterioration. We trust you will appreciate it will take some time to complete this work, owing to the difficulty in handling these heavy dies. With regard to the small press tools, we have already had these taken from our Flash Dept., and placed in the tool stores. Yours faithfully, MOTOR PANELS (COVENTRY) LTD., A.S.SMITH. Director. | ||
