| x262 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.24/KW. 28th May, 1936. Messrs. Ceandess Ltd., Merridale Works, Merridale Street, Wolverhampton. For the attention of Mr. Stevens. Dear Sirs, We are building a spare oil tank for Mr. Hall's car and require another Filler Cap exactly similar to the one you supplied under your reference P.779. This should have a vent hole and the necessary baffle. We should be very obliged if you would let us have one of these as soon as possible. All the other three caps you have supplied are now fitted to the car and appear to be quite satisfactory. We were very pleased with the prompt way in which you dealt with the venting of the largest filler cap. A covering order will be issued for this further cap. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
