| Hood EXPERIMENTAL DEPARTMENT. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}15/JH. 28th. December, 1939. Messrs. Park Ward & Co.Ltd., 473 High Road, Willesden, LONDON.N.W.10. re 9.B.V. Dear Sirs, With reference to the spare wheel cover ordered for 9.B.V. The type required is similar to the cover supplied for 33.G.7. only made to suit a 6.50 x 16 tyre. As you have already made several of these covers all of which vary with the tyre size and wing shape, we do not think it necessary to make a separate drawing for each cover. We regret we were unable to use the cover supplied for 1.R.1. it being much too wide, a cover was therefore made locally. We should be very pleased if you would keep the height and width of the covers down to the minimum. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
