| Exptl. Dept. 12th November, 1934. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Ra.10/KW. The Morse Chain Co., Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of Oct. 26th. We have asked our Office to pass an order to you for three complete sets of Spockets and Chains to LEC.4132. We should like these parts to be American made, and we propose to run tests on them so that we can get a comparative figure for the English produced and American made parts. We shall be glad if you will let us have these pieces as soon as possible. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
