Messrs Joseph Lucas Ltd., Great King Street, BIRMINGHAM 19. Dear Sirs, Can you please supply a windscreen wiper to your drawing No.729473, but with 18" centres instead of 14" as shewn on the drawing. Also, is there any reason why we could not have the connecting rods straight instead of being shaped.? We should also like you to supply a Lucas wiper for a Phantom III. body. Both these wipers are urgently required and we shall be very pleased if you will despatch as soon as possible. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
