| 4236 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}12/KW. 1st November, 1934. The Light Production Co.Ltd., 60/66, Rochester Row, Westminster, London, S.W.1. For the attention of Mr. Brookes. Dear Sirs, We are returning to you under separate cover a set of 6 pistons which you will recollect are over weight. Two of these were cracked and for this reason we asked you for 4 replacements. We think that 17 ozs is the top weight we should like our pistons to be as this was the figure for the original RR.53 Set. We have been waiting for one of the 3 sets of pistons which we have on order before returning these to you, but they have not yet arrived. We are however needing Aerolite pistons and should be glad if you would expedite delivery as far as possible. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
