Dear Sir, We return herewith the tracings you left with us this morning, having taken blue-prints off them. We wondered whether you have ever considered a manual control to your speed change mechanism so that any desired gear ratio can be controlled by the driver. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
