Dear Sirs, FOR THE ATTENTION OF MR. N.C. SORESBY. ------------------------------------- Many thanks for your letter of the 16th. regarding Cowl Clips which has just come to hand together with the accompanying sample. We have looked into the application for this job and we feel a rather better use could be made of the short type of fastener with a flat top plate, type 198/1, and we should be very much obliged if you could send us eight of these fasteners. We should also like to know the cost in quantities of a 1,000 and 2,000. An official order for the above eight clips is being sent through our Order Office and will follow shortly. Yours faithfully, DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER - CHASSIS. ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
