Attention Mr. Breeden.

Dear Sirs,

Steering Wheels.

We enclose herewith a blue print of the Steering Wheel RF.2610, which we discussed with you a short time ago.

The hub is of aluminium with the spokes cast in position. The hub and rim are to have a black cellulose finish. The spring spokes are hexagon shaped, and should have a semi-dull chrome finish to suit the other body interior fittings.

We hope there is sufficient information on this drawing to enable you to produce a wheel. The particulars of the splines will be sent as soon as possible.

Yours faithfully,
for ROLLS ROYCE LIMITED.


Enclosed. Blue Print No.RF.2610.
