Major F.B. Halford,
8 & 9, Golden Square,
London, W.1.

Dear Sir,

We thank you for yours of the 9th inst., and regret that, owing to the Works being closed for the holidays, we have not replied at an earlier date.

Regarding the maximum positive acceleration of the valve at 5,000 r.p.m., this is 19,500 ft/sec.2.

Yours faithfully,

FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED.
