(For the attention of H.E. Price)

Dear Sirs,

Thank you for your letter of the 22nd.

The aluminium rims are now running on one of our Bentley cars, and have so far given no trouble.

It will probably be a month or two before we can give you any information.

Yours faithfully,

For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD.
