Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/KW. 5th November 1934. Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., Experimental Dept., DERBY. Dear Sirs, For the attention of W.A.Robotham Esq. We thank you for your communication of the 2nd in respect to pistons machined to your drawing E.84546, and note your remarks with regard to bedding. Naturally we are very anxious to see these, so that we are proceeding immediately to finish a further two pistons to sizes in all respects similar to those already supplied, and these will be posted to you either to-day or to-morrow, complete with rings and pins. We trust, therefore, that on receipt of these you will be good enough to return the two which have been used, in order that we may study them and if possible, make some suggestions to effect an improvement. Yours faithfully, pp THE LIGHT PRODUCTION CO. LTD. [Signature] GENERAL MANAGER. | ||
