For the attention of Mr. Brookes. Dear Sirs, We shall be glad to hear how the Aluminited Pistons are going on. We were rather disappointed with the castings in the RR.50 alloy and feel that we could have done better ourselves. Would you like to lend us the die and let us make a few for you ? I want to get some of our standard pistons Aluminited and therefore would be grateful if you could give me the name of the responsible person and the name of the Plant where the job is being done. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
