| 2519 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}8/KW. 27th October, 1934. Mr. Longley, Messrs. Ferodo Limited, Chapel-en-le-Frith. Dear Mr. Longley, I wonder whether you could pay us a call about Thursday of next week, when we shall be able to show you the /u characteristics of all the linings you have sent us. None are entirely satisfactory. We did, however, think that VM.30 was going to be a success until we tried a second lining and then got most disappointing results. If you have time to come over here, we shall be able to discuss it with you. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
