| 6119. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}8/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 8th December, 1938. Messrs. Delco-Remy & Hyatt Ltd., 111, Grosvenor Road, LONDON. S.W.1. (For the attention of Mr. W.A. Crewe.) Dear Sirs, Thank you for your letter of the 5th December. The present position is that there is a strong feeling of reverting to the Rolls-Royce distributor. This is undoubtedly due to the trouble we have had with rubbing blocks wearing, and also coming loose. The final decision has not yet been made, but we suggest that you make no provision for further production until you receive an official order. Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
