| 206. (Experimental Dept.) Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM{Anthony F. Martindale}13/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 9th February, 1937. Automotive Products Company Ltd., Tachbrook Road, Leamington Spa. For the attention of Mr. F.G. Parnell. Dear Sirs, Your Ref: PS/FGP/FVJ. We thank you for your letter of the 5th instant in which you kindly offer to try to improve the available brake torque on one of our experimental chassis fitted with Lockheed brakes. Unfortunately, since Mr. Parnell's visit to this Works it has been decided that this particular chassis has ceased to be of use, and it will shortly be scrapped, therefore, it is no good going any further with the matter. Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
