COVENTRY.

For the attention of Mr.Sharp.

Dear Sirs,

Thank you for your letter of January 6th, enclosing your drawing CDS.1179. As stated in our last letter, wheels have already arrived in these Works having our normal balance weight fixing.

We have never seen a drawing of this wheel but as we think it is superior to either of the schemes CDS.1167 or CDS.1179, we should be glad if you would send us a drawing so that we can order such wheels in future.

Yours faithfully,

FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD.
