| -2- R/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}5/MN. 26.10.36. We are very anxious to avoid using any more of the Ferodo door stops acting as dovetails, and are rather perturbed to learn that you have returned to the rubber variety which in the past gave us so much trouble with squeaks that we were forced to go to Ferodo. Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
