Ltd., 60/66, Rochester Row, Westminster, LONDON, S.W.1. Dear Brooks, Special Piston Rings. We are not very happy with our oil consumption at present, and are badly in need of those special rings which you suggested that you would produce for us. I understand it is not only a scraper ring but a pressure ring as well. I shall be glad to hear from you how soon we can have these. Yours sincerely, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
