Huckerby} 21st. April, 1939. Messrs. Joseph Sankey & Sons Ltd., Hadley Castle Works, Wellington, SALOP. For the attention of Mr.H.P.Sharpe. Dear Sirs, As discussed with you yesterday, we are sending to you two of the outer discs with which we have been experimenting from an appearance point of view. We should be glad if you would fit these permanently to two 4.50 x 16 wheels. In one case will you stove enamel the whole wheel black, and in the other case leave the assembly so that it can be painted to choice by the coachbuilders. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
