Rolls Royce Limited, Derby. For the attention of Mr. Swindall. Dear Sir, JOINTS TO PRINT EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}4428. We thank you for the opportunity given our Mr. Horton to discuss the above subject with you yesterday at which time he informed you that the existing 5/32" holes would present certain difficulties for economical production. In this connection we understand that you could consider the use of 1/4" diameter holes and confirm that this dimension would definitely get rid of the existing difficulty. Yours faithfully, RICHARD KLINGER LTD. Sales Progress Dept. | ||
