For the attention of Mr. Brookes.

Dear Sirs,

Thank you for your letter of the 14th May.

We should like to have the complete grinding dimensions of the piston that you propose; i.e., the piston size round the gudgeon pin diameter every 10° or thereabouts.

With regard to the wording of the Advice Note, we shall of course expect you to keep the pistons we have sent and replace them as previously discussed verbally.

Yours faithfully,

FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED.
