| File 6112 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wst.2/JH. 22nd. February, 1937. Messrs. S.Smith &Sons Ltd., Cricklewood Works, London.N.W.2. Dear Sirs, In reply to your letter of the 17th instant, ref. E.2.VJSR. we have decided that we cannot fit the petrol gauge in the position shown on your drawing, as it will be subject to variation, due to the effect of the camber of the road. We do not see at the moment how to fit it but are investigating the matter further and will let you know later. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
