Grylls Esq., Messrs Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr Grylls, I thank you for your letter of November 29th, enclosing the two satisfactory servo discs. The results on polished VM.30 and on the special MZ lining were yet another disappointment. I have set further work in hand and will let you have further samples with all possible speed. Yours sincerely, Nongley. | ||
