| Exptl. Dept. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}14/KW. 12th April, 1934. F.F. Kishline, Esq., Graham-Paige Motors Corporation, Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A. Dear Sir, Thank you for your letter of March 28th. I have received a cable to say that the car has been shipped. It was very good of you to bother to have a look at it before it left the factory. I will let you know how it goes along here. I do not know whether you feel that you can tell us anything about the worm drive, in view of the fact that we are not in any way competitors of yours, but there is no doubt that the silence of this unit is of major importance, and therefore if you could give us any data to help us with the manufacture, we should be very grateful. Yours sincerely, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
