Dear Sirs, With reference to the enclosed letter, Mr. Taub of the Chevrolet Engineering Company visited us the other day and discussed the question of piston rings with us. He told us that you would be able to supply us with rings of the Chevrolet type, and recommended that we should get into touch with you. The figures we give you are those of the Chevrolet rings, but naturally we should like to know whether you agree with our specification and whether you are able to produce the parts in question. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
