Dear Mr. Hack, We have received the hub caps with the loose cones. We like the scheme very much but are disconcerted to note that the weigh is increased by 28%. We should be interested to know whether you have studied the weight question, and whether you think this is the lightest that can be achieved. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
