Dear Sirs, Thank you for your letter of Nov. 10th. I have received the details from the Burman-Douglas people. I observe that this steering operates on the same principle as that fitted to Rolls-Royce cars. If this is made reasonably well, therefore, we know that it will last almost indefinitely. Thank you for the information. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
