| 1269 Experimental Dept. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.8/MH.{M. Huckerby} 24th. May 1938. The Skefco Ball Bearing Co. Ltd., Luton, BEDS. For the attention of Mr.L.H.Lillis. Dear Sirs, We would be glad if you could let us have a detail drawing of your water pump spindle assembly 1.132948 by return, if possible. With regard to your quotation of March 16th. for this bearing (10/- per bearing in lots of 1000) we consider this figure to be excessive and would like to discuss this with Mr.Lillis if he would call at our works. Perhaps Mr.Lillis would make an appointment for this purpose. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
