| 6011 Experimental Department 27th January 1937. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Wst.13/AP. A,C. Spinx Sparking Plug Co.Ltd., DUNSTABLE, Beds. For the attention of Mr.N.F.Stockbridge. Dear Sirs, We are now testing out the sample rev. counter you sent to us for test on our Bentley Chassis. We are very interested in this instrument, and as a preliminary measure would like to know the approximate cost to us if we purchased instruments of this type in batches of 500. We would now like you to submit to us for test a speedometer with the same dial as our standard Bentley instrument. We shall then be able to test out both instruments together, and gain some idea of their reliability. Here again we should like you to submit the approximate cost of buying speedometers of the type you would supply to us. In each of these cases would you please include as a separate item the cost of the flexible drive. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
