For the attention of Mr. H.P.Sharpe. Dear Sirs, We are wondering how you are getting on with the experiment of fitting an outer disc permanently to our steel wheels. We want to make up our minds as soon as possible about the ultimate appearance of this wheel, and we should, therefore, be grateful if you would let us have the two samples you are making as soon as possible. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
