Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of Dec. 8th ref. EW/GW. We cannot trace the letter ordering the pistons to which you refer. Perhaps you would be good enough to quote the reference of our letter in which we asked you to put the pistons in hand. The cylinder bore diameter of our Bentley car with machine limits is 3.250 +1. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
