For the attention of Mr.H.E.Price. Dear Sirs, Thank you for your letter of January 27th., enclosing your drawing CDO.2633 showing your suggested centre for the sample set of Bentley pressed steel wheels. We see that it is easier to make this centre than the hexagonal one shown on our drawing. If possible, we should like to have two hexagonal ones made, if necessary by hand, so that we could judge the appearance of one side of the car. Perhaps you would let us know whether this is possible. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
