| 1139 Experimental Dept. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell}1/MH.{M. Huckerby} 18th. March, 1939. British Filters Ltd., Aircraft House, Market Harboro, LEICS. For the attention of Mr. T. Worth. Dear Sirs, I was recently called in to have a look at several filters which have been rejected on various counts. Despite the faults which include (a) Lid{A. J. Lidsey} not completely enamelled. (b) No hole in inlet union. (c) washer missing, the general finish is a considerable improvement over the earlier fillers supplied. With obviation of these detail faults and providing the enamel is durable, we consider that they are up to our standard. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
