GORDON ARMSTRONG, A.M.I.A.E., F. {Mr Friese} Inst. PAT. N. O. {Mr Oldham} TILL. OUR REF: GA.WC.3. YOUR REF: Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. 22nd November, 1937. Les For the attention of Mr. Leslie. Dear Mr. Leslie, With further reference to the recuperating valve trouble in the pistons, we have gone into this carefully and think we can get a valve twice the size into these pistons. We are having samples made up and after these have/been tested we will send you a pair of pistons and crank assembly along. I feel sure that this will get over any difficulty that you may have. Yours sincerely, Gordon Armstrong | ||
