Treywin, Esq., Rolls-Royce Ltd., Motor Car Division, CREWE. Dear Mr. Treywin, Thank you for your letter of 28th December, and I must admit that I am not altogether surprised at your comments regarding the proposals for the new type of push button. I am having further discussions with the Tool Design Department, to see if there is some way of overcoming the difficulties in making the knob without the need for a polishing operation, and I will be in touch with you again in a few days' time. Yours sincerely, W. CROSSLAND, Chief Engineer. | ||
