| Copy From: RUDGE WHITWORTH LTD. Coventry. Monday 3rd. December 1923 "The 20 HP. Rolls arrived and we all agreed that the wheels were much too tight a fit. We re-drifted them until they seemed satisfactory to us, and I think to your representative, Mr. Maddocks, as well. We also changed the locknuts for a set which had been made for my Austro-Daimler car which is not quite ready, being in the Body Makers hands. These nuts are a little different in design and give more threads to spare. "I enclose for your information a copy of our Technical Department's report. "I understand that the Car at this stage had done a little over 1,000 miles. Yours faithfully, ENCLOSURE Nọ 217 "JUSTSO" | ||
