| 1029 Experimental Dept. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}8/JH. 7th January,1937. The New-Hudson Co.Ltd., Icknield Street, BIRMINGH M.18. For the attention of Mr. Frazer. Dear Sirs, We have now sent out to France for its 15,000 miles test the Bentley fitted with Girling brakes. Mr. Robotham has expressed his willingness to settle any outstanding accounts with you, so perhaps you would communicate with him. Our present opinion is that we shall only be able to standardise Girling Brakes on the rear axle, always providing they last the course in France, but we have made no definite decision yet. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
