| Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1282. Hd {Mr Hayward / Mr Huddy} /Sd10/HR.20.3.39. re USE OF ETHYL PETROL. We are attaching hereto copy of a letter we received on Saturday, asking for general information regarding the effects of Ethyl petrol on the engine of any car. The letter is not addressed specifically to Rolls-Royce Ltd., or to Bentley Motors, and as we are unable to trace the writer as being the Owner of either a Rolls-Royce or a Bentley car, we do not know for certain to which make he is referring in the second paragraph. We shall be glad if you will let us have your comments to enable us to reply suitably. Hd. {Mr Hayward / Mr Huddy} | ||
