For the attention of Mr. A.P.Fenn. Dear Sirs, We have now completed our preliminary tests on your Autothermic Pistons and before going further with them we should like you to see them as they are at the moment, they only show a width of bedding of approximately half an inch down the centre of the skirt. Can you possible get over this week, say Friday afternoon at 2.30 p.m. since we should like your opinion on whether the pistons are worth running again. Will you let us know by wire or 'phone to-morrow whether you can get over here on Friday. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS - ROYCE LTD. | ||
