Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/KW. 12th November 1934. Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., Experimental Dept., DERBY. [Underlined] For the attention of W.A.Robotham Esq. Dear Sirs, [Underlined] Pistons E.84546. We thank you for your communication of the 7th. The two pistons which have been run have been received and we would say that generally, we are very pleased with the appearance of these pistons. We should very much appreciate, however, the opportunity of studying them with the cylinder dimensions before us, and we trust, therefore, that these will be to hand in the course of a post or so. Thereafter, the writer will arrange to visit you to discuss the bedding as suggested, at a convenient opportunity. Yours faithfully, pp THE LIGHT PRODUCTION CO.LTD. [Signature of C.H. Brooks] GENERAL MANAGER. | ||
