OUR REF. NR/W. 1st February, 1939. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. For the attention of Mr. Grylls. Dear Sirs, Since sending you our drawing on the 27th ultimo which shows the modifications which we suggested to the disc for your steel wheel, we have made up a rough sample. This has been despatched to you today. We think you will agree that the appearance has been considerably improved, and if you will refer to the drawing you will find that the cap can still go down another 3/16ths, as this is the old cap modified, and is not actually correct to the drawing. Yours faithfully, For CORNERCROFT LIMITED. Joint Managing Director.
