| TELEGRAMS: THE ROVER COMPANY LTD TELEPHONE Nº ROVER, COVENTRY. NEW METEOR WORKS 88081. COVENTRY YOUR REF. OUR REF. MCW/JM {Mr Morley} 14th. November, 1939. G.H. Grylls Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., DERBY. Dear Grylls, In reply to your letter of November 13th. regarding Studebaker Gearbox, we are despatching this to you in pieces to-day, addressed "For the attention of Mr. Robotham." With regard to your questions:- 1. It was quiet, but not up to your standard. 2. Position of Sliders - as you will see, it has none. 3. I do not know whether you can obtain a spare in England, but we had no difficulty in getting a spare for the wheel which we broke, from Henleys, so I think it is quite likely they might have the rest of the bits. Yours faithfully, THE ROVER COMPANY LIMITED. M.C. WILKS. CHIEF ENGINEER. | ||
