BY.1/G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} The S.U. Company, East Works, Bordesley Green Road, Adderley Park, BIRMINGHAM. Dear Sirs, PETROL PUMPS Referring to my letter of the 10th inst. on the above subject (ref. BY.14/G/), the proposal put forward by our Experimental Department, which was incorporated in my letter referred to above viz. to come into line with your present production by using the latest type of diaphragm material, has raised a discussion, as a result of which I have been instructed by our Administration not to introduce the new material until the matter has been further considered. In view of the foregoing, therefore, I must ask you to continue to deliver pumps with the same type of diaphragm material as that which we have been receiving hitherto. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. RW Harvey Bailey TECHNICAL PRODUCTION ENGINEER. | ||
