| X360 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.7/KW. 27th July, 1936. Messrs. G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} Harvey & Co., Woolwich Road, LONDON, S.E.7. Dear Sirs, We are requiring some wire mesh for the purpose of masking the radiator matrices on our cars, and would like you to forward us suitable samples of any such mesh which you market. The type which we are interested in is diamond or square mesh, from about 1/4" square upwards. Naturally we require the minimum of obstruction to the radiator air flow. We do not wish to use the type of mesh which was supplied by yourselves originally, as this will give too much obstruction. All samples should be finished in a dull eggshell black. Trusting that we may receive an early reply from you. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
