Messrs.Rolls-Royce,Ltd., Derby. Dear Sirs, We are much obliged for your favour of the 30th ult., respecting the Hobson K-S Petrol Telegage. We are glad to note you will send us a Bentley or a 25/30 h.p. tank for calibration as soon as you have one available. We regret to have your report on the tank unit removed from the Phantom lll, and we will have this carefully inspected and reported upon as soon as we receive it. We have received under your advice note WG{Mr Gill - Financial Director}/F.36081 a brass float dented and full of petrol. This is not of our make but has evidently been sent us in error instead of our tank unit. It is returned herewith. Yours faithfully, H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} HOBSON(AIRCRAFT & MOTOR)COMPONENTS,LTD., Sales Dept. Handwritten number: 1263. | ||
