The Light Production Co.Ltd. 60/66, Rochester Row, Westminster, London, S.W.1. Dear Mr. Brooks, We have some of our own semi-split type of pistons which we want to grind to one of your cam forms. We wonder whether you would object to grinding one or two experimental sets for us to save us the trouble of making these cams. The light weight pistons are so far going alright. We hope you will be able to let us have another set very soon. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
