Hollingworth} 2nd July, 1941. Messrs. Wilmot-Breeden Ltd., Eastern Works, Camden Street, B I R M I N G H A M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} 1. 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.
