Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/KT. June 2nd 1933. W.W.Constantine Esq., 111, Grosvenor Road, London. S.W.1. Dear Sir, We wish to try timing gears made in the same material as on the Buick car. We understand the Buick run gears in cast iron against Texolit material. We also believe that this Texolit is made by the G.E.C. We should be very much indebted to you if you would let us know if Texolit is made in this country. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
