THAMES HOUSE, MILLBANK LONDON, S.W.1 Telephone: VICTORIA 5520 Head Office: 135 EAST 42ND STREET NEW YORK, U.S.A 22nd August, 1935. W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham Esq., Experimental Department, Rolls-Royce Ltd., Nightingale Road, DERBY. Dear Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}, I attach herewith a further letter which I have just received from the States regarding the rather nasty looking Cadillac valve which you gave me, and which I forwarded to our laboratory for their scrutiny and remarks. This letter was sent to our Australia office by mistake so it is rather overdue. Whilst I do not suppose you are now particularly interested in the valve in question, I thought you might like to have a record of the remarks made about it. You will be pleased to note Sam Heron's remarks regarding "British lubricating oil". I hope you are having, or have had, a very good holiday. I started mine about five or six days ago, but had to come back to the office for two days. I hope to leave again by tomorrow night at the latest. With kind regards, Yours sincerely, FRB/BB | ||
