For the attention of Mr. Blomley. Dear Sirs, We are in need of a Rheostat switch for controlling a small 12 volt motor. About 2 years ago we obtained a number of car heater switches from you. The larger of the two types you sent to us is what we require. If you still have in stock any of this larger type, will you please send one as soon as possible. We will send you an official order as soon as we hear that you can supply the switch. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
