| X7791. c. Mailing. EFC4/AD. 10th September, 1929. Messrs. North & Sons,Ltd., Whippendell Rd., Watford. Dear Sirs, Lubrication of E.W.6. Magneto. In our Phantom instruction book we have, in connection with E.W.6 magneto, the instruction that "two or three drops of engine oil should be added every 500 miles or weekly". For reasons connected with the remainder of our instructions for the lubrication of the S.S. chassis, we are very anxious to be able to include magneto lubrication in the "Every 1,000 miles or fortnightly". Is it possible to have your acquiscence in this matter? From our own experience we are of the opinion that the proposed frequency of lubrication is sufficient. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
