| 1256. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /CTS. {C. Trot Salt - Carburation} 3/JH. 17th. February, 1940. The Light Production Co.Ltd., 60/66 Rochester Row, Westminster.S.W.1. Dear Sirs, Many thanks for your letter ref. WPR/DP. dated 8th. February, enclosing revised drawings of high crown pistons, in three bore sizes. We note that we may expect a further revised print showing your recommendations for reduction in weight. If this looks hopeful, we would like you to incorporate the modifications in a new core box, to produce the "high crown" piston recently decided upon. In the meantime, will you please supply - 36 pistons F.487. An order to cover these will follow. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
