ROLLS-ROYCE OF AMERICA, INC. SPRINGFIELD, MASS. X3900 Oy8-E-B2327 August 25, 1927. Mr. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} W. Hives, Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby, England. Re Riding Quality Dear Mr. Hives: I left with Mr. Robotham my notes on inertia testing of a complete car to find the radius of gyration of the sprung-masses. When you are through with these I should be glad if you would return them. Would be glad also to know what you have done about swinging a 20 hp. closed car, and with what results. Yours very truly, Maurice Olley MO/E | ||
