Rolls-Royce, Ltd., DERBY. FOR THE ATTENTION OF MR.R.MATTHEWS. Dear Sirs, Further to our letter of the 28th. ultimo, the writer regrets that we are still unable to state a definite date for the bench tests of the Aluminium Tin Alloy Bearings, as amongst other things, we are in the throes of moving the experimental engine test from one end of the Works to the other. We hope, however, that we shall be able to complete these tests by the end of the present month. Yours faithfully, THE ROVER COMPANY LIMITED. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Swaine Technical Department.
