| 1235 (Experimental Dept.) Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}18/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 31st December, 1936. R.J.W. Massey, Esq., 10, Middleton Crescent, Beeston, NOTTS: Dear Massey, We have not yet received any of the new Hi-press oil which you promised us for Christmas. One of our Bentleys is leaving for France to-morrow for a 10,000 miles test, and as we shall not have the oil in time to fill the axle in England perhaps you could arrange to send a couple of gallons to:- G.W. Hancock, Hotel de France, Chateauroux, Indre, France, as soon as possible. Yours sincerely, | ||
