(Your Ref: Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 11/KW) Messrs. Rolls-Royce Limited, Experimental Dept., D E R B Y. Dear Sirs, Re: LAVINE STEERING GEARS. We beg to acknowledge receipt of your communication of the 15th instant, contents of which we have duly noted. The information regarding the hammering of the Balls into the Worm, is news to us and we are contacting with the factory in order to obtain their re-action. It is however, possible that the information you have relates to the first type of Ball Gears which Lavine developed, the principle of which was to use one Ball in stead of two. However, we feel that Lavine's reply will be of interest to you, and we will contact with you again when we have received their reply. Yours faithfully, AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS COMPANY LTD.
