| X1276 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}1/KT. March 10th 1933. A.{Mr Adams} C. Bertilli Esq., Aston Martin Ltd., Feltham, Middlesex. Dear Mr. Bertilli, I wonder whether you would let us know where we can obtain some flexible exhaust piping. There is some of it on my car. Do you know whether it retains its gas tight properties if subjected to continual flexing, as would be the case if used in conjunction with a "floating power" engine suspension? Yours sincerely, FOR ROLLS ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
