| 1204 May 14th 1937 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}4/AP. The Technical Editor, "The Motor", 5 to 17 Rosebery Ave., LONDON W.C.1. Dear Sir, Thank you for your letter of May 7th. We are looking forward to your visit to Derby to convince you of the figures we quoted.. One point which has occurred to us is that a 10% error in the speedometer reading will cause a 20% error in the sideways acceleration. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
