| 189[ (Experimental Dept.) Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}7/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 5th February, 1937. Maurice Wilks, Esq., The Rover Company Ltd., COVENTRY. Dear Mr. Wilks, Very many thanks for sending the two gearbox gears for our inspection. We are wondering now whether we dare ask for a further piece of information, this is, the total assembly time of your gearbox. If you do not mind letting us know this figure, perhaps you could get Mr. Worster to send it along. Have you tried the axle breather yet ? Yours sincerely, | ||
