Cont'd. {John DeLooze - Company Secretary} There will be a different rim die for the Bentley and Rolls-Royce, because the latter although basically the same section the former has been given angular features. It is suggested also, that we may wish to make the Rolls-Royce wheel 18" in diameter. We would be very pleased to receive your comments on these projects. Yours Faithfully, CHASSIS-PROJECT OFFICE. | ||
