| 100T 200B 1159 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}2/R.{Sir Henry Royce} Messrs. Alford & Alder (Engineers) Ltd., 89, Walworth Road, LONDON. S.E.17. Sept. 7th 1937. Dear Sirs, We understand from Messrs. Lagonda Ltd. that you make for them the hubs and hub caps for their cars. We are sending you drawings of the front and rear hubs and hub caps which we use on our Bentley chassis. You will note that the rear hub has internal splines owing to the use of a fully floating axle. We should be glad if you would let us have an estimate for complete sets of parts if ordered in batches of 200, comprising 4 hubs and 4 hub caps. Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
