| 1052. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}8/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 7th October, 1937. Messrs. Lendrum & Hartman Ltd., Old Oak Lane, Willesden Junction, N.W.10. Your Ref: HP/3846. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of October 6th with regard to the Cadillac wheel we have ordered. So long as this will fit the brake drum you have already supplied, and the rim is in such a position that the overhang over the wheel bearing is the standard amount for the Cadillac type 60 chassis, it will suit our needs. We hope this information will enable you to send us a wheel. Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
