| c. RY. c. Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. De. 604 Secret and Confidential. 29th. April 1938. Ds/Hv.18/G. Messrs. Park Ward & Co. Ltd., 473 High Road, Willesden, London. N.W.10. For the attention of Mr. Pinney. Dear Sirs, As requested, we are posting to you the tracing of the back end of the wide 25/30 enclosed Limousine, on which yesterday we added the shape of the petrol tank, the petrol gauge and the vent pipe. We confirm that it was agreed to move the vent pipe to a position forward of the gauge, which will enable you to lower the floor the required amount. As soon as convenient we shall design and test a tank with the gauge moved to the front where it will not interfere with the body. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. Car Project Office. | ||
