Dear Sirs, You have supplied at various intervals odd sets of special pistons which have .030 higher crown than the normal Bentley piston. Will you please let us know if you can supply 21 similar pistons, but having .030 left on the crown. We have known these pistons as "HC" in the past, but would prefer that you give them one of your "P" numbers. We are sending an official order for these pistons, and would be obliged if you would give an approx. delivery date. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
