| C O P Y. TELEPHONE - 113 BROOMHILL. OAK CROFT, RANMOOR, SHEFFIELD. January 5th. 1927. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Sirs, Chassis No. GMK-49. Will you please send me another platinum contact screw (adjustable), like the one I enclose. I have always had trouble with these contacts pitting badly, and some alteration was made by you last year, but it did not remove the trouble. The enclosed contact was perfectly cleaned up two weeks ago, and in less than 100 miles running it is badly pitted, as you will see. I should also be pleased to know when you will be able to fit my car with the new steering column? Yours faithfully, (Signed) G.D. Flather. | ||
