| Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 2/R. 1290. 24th December, 1937. B. Rushton, Esq., Delco-Remy & Hyatt, Limited, 111, Grosvenor Road, S.W.1. Dear Mr. Rushton, We have had Mr. Kennington here to-day, and have arranged for some cold starting tests next week, when I hope one of your Representatives will be able to be present. We have talked round the failure of the rubbing blocks. We have to admit that the inability of your standard material to stand up may be due to an idiosyncrasy of our engine. However, with our standard piece we do not expect any trouble. Thank you for the case, With every Good Wish for 1938, Yours sincerely, | ||
