DUBLIN & BELFAST Please quote our reference: E.6 FGE/MM. Your Ref: Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}9/KT. December 12th, 1933. Messrs. Rolls Royce, Ltd., DERBY. Dear Sirs, With further reference to the Phantom II which is to be equipped with our Jackall Jacking System, we beg to advise you that the Pump Unit is now completed and ready for fitting. If you will send the car to this address we will complete the job. An intimation of the time of arrival will be helpful. With regard to the Jacks fitted we think that you will find them sufficiently stable for any ordinary purposes when the car is resting on all four or on one pair, but if any greater degree of rigidity is desirable we can of course provide it. We have used our small type of jack owing to its lightness (3 1/2 lbs.) and this size is quite adequate for lifting purposes. Yours faithfully, for S. SMITH & SONS (MOTOR ACCESSORIES) LIMITED.
