| 84094 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Cry.1/MA. November 21st., 1932. Messrs. Cam Gears Ltd., Biscot Road, Works, Luton, Beds. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letters of the 25th., ult. and 10 inst., and regret we have not answered before. We think, rather than try a Bishop steering on our Phantom II Car, we would prefer to try it on the smaller one. We attach drawings of the available space and certain distances. We would fit our own steering wheel and controls. If you could send us a measured efficiency curve in the castoring direction for torques up to 3000 lbs. in on the drop arm, we should be very interested to see it. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
