Trot Salt - Carburation}1/JH 28th April, 1939. File Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., Experimental Dept., DERBY. NOMAD Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. C.T. Salt. We much appreciate your agreement in your letter of the 25th instant to our suggestion that six only of P.461 Pistons should be tested for bedding before proceeding for the balance. We have accordingly despatched to you yesterday, seven Pistons and we trust these have arrived safely and our now in your hands. With regard to the last paragraph of your letter, we are quite ready to fall in with this suggestion, but alternatively if you felt that any more useful purpose would be served thereby, the writer is always willing to wait on you at Derby for a discussion on the results, but either way of course you are assured of our full co-operation in these matters. Yours faithfully, FOR THE LIGHT PRODUCTION CO.LTD. C.H.B. Brooks. GENERAL MANAGER NATIONAL SCHEME FOR DISABLED MEN | ||
