Brooks, Esq., The Light Production Co.Ltd., 60/66, Rochester Row, Westminster, LONDON, S.W.1. Dear Brooks, Many thanks for your offer to do us three sets of the special pistons as cheaply as possible. For the purpose of reference we are giving these pistons a Code Number, and will call them the EX.1 pistons. The reason for this is that any alteration in piston diameter always starts a crop of rumours going and this we wish to avoid. I am glad to hear that you are better, and hope that your recovery is sustained. Yours sincerely, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
