| X4117. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}1/WT23.2.32. S/W. Lerr..from Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} -Copy to Ws. I am enclosing copy of a letter I have to-day written to Grimshaw Leather in respect of Mr. Mounsey's order. I would just remind you that Mr. Mounsey, after having a trial run on our GSR-14 agreed to give us an order for a 25 H.P. Rolls-Royce conditionally on our guaranteeing that the pitching he experienced on our car was entirely absent on the car supplied to him, although P.N. states that he is quite satisfied that the springing control such as is fitted to 18-G4 would deal with this specific criticism made by Mr. Mounsey, that is pitching at speeds between 30/40 m.p.h Unfortunately this gentleman is not easy to please, and there would appear to be no doubt that we must be willing that the Hartford Shock-absorbers be fitted in addition. I will advise you of any further reply from Grimshaw Leather. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} | ||
