Piston General (Chassis) Dear Mr. Salt, Referring back to my visit, when we discussed the question of the Bentley piston design, you will re-call that it was your intention to check over the drawing and write us to make a set which were to come down to the required weight. As I have not heard from you I am taking the opportunity of dropping you a line in case perchance your letter has gone astray - as do quite a number these days. Meantime, I am looking forward to hearing from you and trusting that you are well. Yours truly, W.A.Wilson W. A.{Mr Adams} Wilson. Technical Research Engineer. | ||
