| X3861 Experimental Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Im.3/KT. Sept 27th 1933. Messrs Bluemel Bros. Ltd., Wolston, Coventry. Dear Sirs, We have noticed certain variations in the steering wheels you are supplying for the Bentley car. The variation concerns the amount of springiness which we can obtain in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the steering column. We should be glad to have a visit from your representative, so that we can demonstrate the variation, and discuss a means for overcoming it. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
