| (Experimental Dept.) Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}2/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 8th March, 1939. Chrysler Motors Limited, Mortlake Road, Kew Gardens, SURREY. Dear Sirs, We recently obtained from Warners in America, a gearbox of the type used on Chryslers, namely, the Warner A.S.3 - T.86.A. This is the latest type box with "kick-down" overdrive. We are wondering if you could let us have a speedometer drive unit for such a gearbox, and, if so, should be grateful if you would quote us for the unit speedometer and cable. Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
