| X7360 Exptl. Dept. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.10/KW. 26th February, 1934. Messrs. Bowden (Engineers) Ltd., Willesden Junction, LONDON, N.W.10. Dear Sirs, We want to fix up inner and outer cable control to the front brakes of one of our large cars. Will you please let us know if you have any cable suitable for our requirements. Perhaps you will be able to send us some samples. We presume that a really large cable is necessary in order to avoid sponginess in the braking system. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
