May, 1939 G.H. Grylls Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Grylls, I have just been away from the Works for three weeks and before going I thought I had dealt with all outstanding business. On my return, however, I find that your letter of the 24th. April has not been dealt with. The wheel bearing in question is made for us by "Skefko", their type number being DES.212897. I hope this information is not too late to be of use to you. Yours sincerely, WRBoyle. | ||
