W.A.Robotham Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr.Robotham, When you were here you said you would let me know the diameter of the inlet port on the induction on the 25/30 model so that we can supply you with Down-Draught Carburetters for test purposes. As regards the thermostatic starting job, could you let me have the induction pipe with a couple of carburetters fitted to it. I would then get these rigged up which would save delay in fitting the job up when you let me have the car. Yours sincerely, CSkinner [Handwritten note at top] Redex [Handwritten note at bottom] Swoll - Please send a Bentley Carb & induction pipe. Also let me have inlet port dimensions Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} [Handwritten note on right side] E 60874 | ||
