Dear Sirs, With reference to the sample petrol flexes which you recently supplied to us. We have cut a section of one of these and we are amazed to find that inside the armoured cable there is nothing but the flex coil tubing. Up to date we have not had any sign of leakage from these flexes, but we are very interested to know how and why the method adopted is proof against leakage. We shall be pleased to hear from you on this matter. Thanking you, Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
