| -2- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}29/KW.8.6.36. We are anxious for this axle, although it will be hand forged, to have as neat an appearance as possible, and any treatment to improve the appearance will be well worth while, as when the complete layout is examined by non-technical senior members of the firm this will be rather important. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
