| ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. INSTRUCTIONS. WORKS RECEIVED To: Mr Wormald (Mr. Innes) Order No. Customer's No. Exp. a/c Re Steering Pivot Tests On 2200 series cars the pivots were made stronger. To make a proper test we should first test one of the old type which has proved itself too weak, & then test one of the present type so that we can find out exactly how much the new ones are stronger. Please arrange that the works supply us with one of each type pivot. I should like to see the pivot that has broken when it arrives. Signed This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work. | ||
