Messrs.Rubery-Owen & Co.,

South Staffs.

Dear Sirs,

Re: Experimental Frame.

As agreed when your Messrs.Buckley and Girvin visited our Works last, we are sending you herewith a print of LoC.5458 of the proposed experimental frame modified in accordance with your latest suggestions.

The frame channel section has been modified and now corresponds to the Hillman Minx in principle.

We would be glad to receive your comments on the design of the side channel as soon as possible as we are already going ahead on these lines.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of
ROLLS-ROYCE LTD.
