| 1097 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 28th May, 1937. A.{Mr Adams} Taub, Esq., Vauxhall Motors Ltd., L U T O N. Beds. Dear Mr. Taub, I was very glad to get your confirmation that in your opinion Chromium cylinder iron is not inferior in wearing qualities in any respect to the iron used by Buicks and Chevrolet in their cylinder blocks. Referring to your letter of the 25th March on oils, we had Wakefield's up here yesterday, and did our best to carry on the battle of the S.A.E. grading. There is every indication that they are fighting a losing battle, and will shortly come round to our way of thinking. I have all sorts of messages for you from your colleagues in the United States. If you could spare a night we should be very happy to put you up - do come. Yours sincerely, | ||
