COPY. X6016 ROLLS-ROYCE OF AMERICA INC. SPRINGFIELD, MASS. Btn-7 April 29th, 1931. X6016 X6099 Rolls-Royce Ltd Derby, England. For the attention of Mr. Hives. Dear Mr. Hives, Re-Two Rate output Switching Scheme. We notice from experimental sheet 6004 that this scheme is standardised from N2 series and presume that this includes L.H. chassis. Now, we are not quite clear here exactly what this scheme is. In looking through the drawings we have, we have not been able to find anything which throws any light on the subject. Could you, or perhaps Mr. Clark, let us have some information what is being done and how the results are obtained? Yours very truly, (Sgd.) Robert E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Burton.
