Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr. Grylls, I would be glad to discuss cost figures on gear wheels with you, as you suggest, but think that you would probably get more complete information by going to see Mr. Worster at our Tyseley Factory, where these are made and where all time study and cost records are kept. I will mention this to Mr. Worster, so that if you decide to go to Tyseley instead of coming here, you will only have to get directly in touch with him, and he will know what it is all about. Yours sincerely, THE ROVER COMPANY LIMITED. M C Wilks Technical Department. M.C.Wilks. | ||
