EDGWARE ROAD - CRICKLEWOOD - LONDON N.W.2 F D 10th January, 1939 S.H.Grylls, Esq., Messrs.Rolls-Royce Ltd., D E R B Y. Dear Mr.Grylls, You will remember when we were discussing Hydrolift jacks for the Bentley, I suggested that the operating handle should be made of stouter gauge tubing and you also suggested that the tube should be closed by some form of knob to make this look a little more presentable. I am despatching to you, under separate cover, two of these levers which I trust will meet with your approval. Yours sincerely, [Signature] DWS/IKS Noted F D | ||
