| Messrs.Rolls-Royce Ltd. - 2 - 17th Nov.1921. Mr.Whitehead's visit last week we were unaware that we should be called upon to supply any springs until well in the new year. If you wish us to still continue the manufacture of these leaves, we will keep you posted up as to the progress. We have carried out a trial on the first sample hardening die which appears to be satisfactory, and we are consequently putting in hand the remaining dies. We are, dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, THOS.FIRTH & SONS LIMITED. (Sgd) J.W.Fawcett. Director. | ||
