Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr. Robotham, Many thanks for information re. radiator blocks. We are going to get in touch with Marstons. Could you let us have some information regarding your method of interposing rubber between a rear axle and springs? Do you take the back wheel torque through this rubber mounting? I am asking this, because I had some idea that on one of your models you used to have a kind of torque arm running parallel with the propeller shaft. Yours sincerely, THE ROVER COMPANY LIMITED.
