For the attention of Mr.Heming. Dear Sirs, With reference to your letter SH/A/GEW of the 10th. instant, we have much pleasure in confirming our 'phone conversation of this afternoon when we told you that we would be pleased to supply you with a further 30 - 13 1/2" Thermoid facings similar to those supplied before, i.e. as per your request excepting that they are .137 thick instead of .125. This difference is not of any particular importance. Will you kindly note that the assembly number EX.27309 is now superseded by G.85600. We confirm that we have no 10" or 11" Thermoid facings at Derby, all the available supplies being in the hands of your goodselves. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
