Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. 1st January, 1937. For Mr.Leslie's attention. Dear Mr. Leslie, I herewith enclose the two valves to change for the ones that squeak. These are made with the same taper as the bottom valve. I have put these in separate envelopes as they do not appear to be interchangeable; due, no doubt, to the hardening. I will be interested to hear whether these valves cure the squeak trouble. Enclosed also is the drawing showing the assembly. Yours sincerely, p.p.THE GORDON ARMSTRONG PATENT SUSPENSION CO.LTD.
