| X1282 HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/KT. May 29th 1933. F.R.Banks Esq., Ethyl Export Corporation, Abford House, Victoria, London. S.W.1. Dear Banks, Here is some further correspondence from the Alcohol fuel people. We presume that they hardly dare claim an 84 octane value unless they can approach this figure. We should be glad if you would let us have any further information on this fuel as it come available. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
