| 81336 Expl. Dept. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Cry.8/MJ. 12th. August, 1936. The Bramber Engineering Co. Ltd., Waterloo Road, Cricklewood, N.W.2. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 11th. inst., concerning fitting balance weights to 17" rim Bentley wheels. We are not sure from your letter whether you refer to smaller balance weights which were previously standard on R.R. cars, or whether you are suggesting that we should adopt a smaller weight than usual. In either case, perhaps you would send us a sketch of the wheel we now have at the Works with the balance weight you propose. If then we agree to your suggestion we will send the set of wheels back for alteration. Yours faithfully, For Rolls-Royce Ltd. | ||
