Attention of E.A.G. August.13th.1940. 704 Messrs Rolls Royce Ltd. Clan Foundry, Belper. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your favour of the 12th.inst. The work will be put in hand at once and the earliest possible delivery arranged for. This depends on the labour question entirely, but we shall expedite the work as much as possible. The model will certainly be made so that an alternative design of front can be fitted if required later as suggested by Mr E.A.Green. It is quite clear that the model will, in the first place, be finished as Quotation A, and that after approval will be made to conform to Quotation B as regards metal work and chromium plating. As stated in our previous letter, no interior work is allowed for in either quotation but the model will be made with a detachable floor to facilitate this should you decide to incorporate any later on. Enclosed please find a rough tracing covering a few more queries. Thanking you for your order and assuring you of our best attention, We are, Yours faithfully, Twining Models.
