Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Sirs, In reply to your letter of the 23rd inst., we have immediately put a Bentley Speedometer cable in hand with a special covering. We think that a canvas-rubber type of covering will be even better than pure rubber, as it will probably restrict noise still more. We hope to despatch this to you within the next three or four days. It will not take long to make up, it is simply a question of getting the suitable tubing in. We will write to you further when we are despatching this cable. Always at your service. We beg to remain, Yours faithfully, For THE A.T. SPEEDOMETER CO. LTD. H.R. Buckland Director. C.A.P. J.J. | ||
