X/LCT/10. 18th January, 1940. C.o.p.s. Derby For the attention of Mr. Childs. Dear Sirs, We acknowledge your letter of 12th inst., concerning Roco product and we would inform you that we can supply this suitably treated with a waterproof dope. We can do this product in various sizes, but at the time of writing we are not quite sure what we have in stock, but if you send along an order for a quantity stating the size you want, if it does not happen to be available at the moment we can certainly obtain supplies for you. We thank you for your Blue Print D.B.2562 for the Ammeter and we are going into the question of the possibility of making further supplies. No doubt you are aware that these are absolutely experimental and have to be made under difficult sem-production conditions. Yours faithfully, JOSEPH LUCAS LIMITED, Technical Sales Department. | ||
