The Chief Engineer,
Messrs.Coventry Climax Engine Co.Ltd.,
Friar's Road,
Coventry.

Dear Sir,

We are at present running an overhead inlet and side exhaust valve cylinder on our single cylinder research engine, and as you are in production with an engine of this type we feel that a discussion with you might be mutually beneficial.

If you are agreeable we should be pleased if you would suggest a date when we might come over to Coventry to see you.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of
ROLLS-ROYCE LTD.,

Design Dept.
