For the attention of Mr.C.H.Brooks. Dear Sirs, As arranged with you on your last visit to the Works we are despatching today the 14 pistons we should like grinding to your No.12 cam. As you know these have already been ground to your No.10 cam but we seized two pistons at a point 45° from the major axis so therefore your No.12 cam should just about correct this, particularly since we know that by increasing the bore by .001 we cured the trouble. We have instructed our Order Office to pass an offical order to cover the necessary machining costs. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
