| Copy of letter from Mr. W.W. Constantine. 111, Grosvenor Road, London, S.W. 1. 5th August, 1932. (Dict. 4th) A.F. Sidgreaves, Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., 14-15, Conduit Street, W. 1. Dear Mr. Sidgreaves, re Synchro-Mesh. I have been trying to get an opportunity to write you ever since Friday last when I had the pleasure of riding in and driving your new job equipped with synchro-mesh. First of all I would like to thank you and your staff for making it possible for Mr. O.{Mr Oldham} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hunt, our Vice-President in charge of Engineering, to drive this car, a point which he appreciated very much. Both he and I feel that you have made a wonderful job of the synchro-mesh, and in fact, my personal opinion is that it is the nicest gear shift that I have ever operated. Naturally, one would expect it to be so on a Rolls!! With very many thanks again, Yours sincerely, (Sgd.) W.W. Constantine. WWC/KG. 254. | ||
