| X219 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/KW. 31st January, 1936. G.L. Hack, Esq., Messrs. Rudge-Whitworth Ltd., Rudge Works, COVENTRY. Your Ref: GLH/MH.{M. Huckerby}30.1.36. Dear Mr. Hack, Our experience of chromium cylinder bores so far has been negligible. We have an engine ready for test, the bores of which were done by the Rover Co. for us, but so far it has not been run. We hope, however, to commence tests almost immediately and will let you know as soon as we get results. If you do not hear shortly, please remind me. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
