Brooks Esq., The Light Production Co.Ltd., 60/66, Rochester Row, Westminster, London, S.W.1. Dear Mr. Brooks, Many thanks for your letter of the 30th January. The pistons are now to hand. We are anxiously awaiting some news of the lightened Bentley pistons, because we are sending a car to France in the immediate future and this will present a good opportunity for testing these lightened pieces. Since your last visit we have been running the Specialloid pistons. Their characteristic seems to be similar to your own, the only difference being that they only weigh 14 ozs. complete. Yours sincerely, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
