| 1175 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/JH. 24th. January, 1940. V.W. Pilkington, Esq., Leyland Motors Limited, Leyland, LANCS. Dear Pilkington, Many thanks for your letter dated 22nd. January. For various reasons it is very difficult for me to come over to Leyland, and I should be very grateful if you could send the block down together with the necessary particulars. We are getting some very decent results on cylinder bores short chromium plated. Have you had any experience on this subject? Yours sincerely, | ||
