| USA S.H. Grylls, Esq., The Book Cadillac Hotel, Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} 8/KW. 27.11.35. As we shall probably go wrong in the material, the method of finishing, heat treatment, etc. of the steel of our bearings if we send them to Federal, we are instead posting complete detailed drawings so that they can make the shells themselves and then line them. We should like you to order three sets. Before you do so we should like you to be sure in your own mind that Pontiacs are wrong and Graham-Paige right. We should feel inclined to think more of General Motors' opinion than of Graham-Paige. | ||
