| ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. INSTRUCTIONS. To: F.W. Haden & F.W. Barrington Order No.: Customer's No.: X 200 Re: NG/29/10/12 Starting device. I have written that the matter should stand over. I think we should refuse to Touch, at least for the present. I have a date of 19-7-12. NAVALIUM With reference to Navalium we are experimenting with a metal which would presumably be of the same family eg. Duralumin. This is being tried as a piston which differs in a light cast iron piston. Should Navalium prove to possess advantages, its introduction should, I have no doubt, prepare us to use the better metal in any future work. RE NOTES ON CARS.
