81487 13th. July 1934. BY.10/G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} The S.U. Carburetter Co., East Works, Bordesley Green Road, Adderley Park, Birmingham. 8. For the attention of Mr. Skinner. Dear Sirs, As the result of the conversations which have taken place between yourself, our Mr. Elliott and Mr. Hives, I have been asked to write you a note summing up the position mutually agreed upon between us in regard to the new type of RR. carburetter which we are about to produce based on the S.U. design. In lieu of paying a royalty as such or taking out a definite licence, it is agreed that providing we :- (a). Buy our metering needles for such carburetters from you at a nominal price of 2/6d. each nett. and (b). Fix a plate to each carburetter stating that it is made under S.U. and R.R. patents. You on your part for these slight benefits conferred will give us free and untrammelled rights to the use of the S.U. patents we have incorporated in our design. We would be pleased to have your confirmation of the above as representing a satisfactory solution of the matter under discussion to both Companies. We remain, Dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. TECHNICAL PRODUCTION ENGINEER. | ||
