Dear Sir, With reference to your note of the 28th ult. We are very anxious to take advantage of your offer to try the "Maybach-Zeppelin" when it arrives in this country, so that we may be able to confirm our impression relative to the behaviour of the gear. We thank you for the explanation of the difficulty which we pointed out to you, but we should like to make sure it actually produces results which are not as bad as we anticipated. We are awaiting your reply with interest. Yours faithfully, For Rolls-Royce Ltd. | ||
