| Exptl. Dept. Ha/Smth.6/KW. 18th April, 1934. Messrs. J. {Mr Johnson W.M.} & E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hall, Dartford, Kent. Dear Sirs, We are considering the installation of a Cold Chamber at these Works for testing the cold starting characteristics of cars and aero engines. We should require a chamber similar to the one you have erected recently at Messrs. Joseph Lucas Ltd, Birmingham, and should be glad to know the approximate cost of such a plant. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
