Ltd., 60/66, Rochester Row, Westminster, London, S.W.1. Dear Brooks, I want some 3 1/4" bore pistons, Bentley size, Aerolite type. The great object is to get hold of some quickly and we do not mind whether they are sand-cast or die-cast. I should like two sets. Could you please let me know what you can do for me ? With regard to the lightened type Bentley pistons of the 3 1/4" bore, I am still anxiously awaiting news of these since returning the cracked ones to you. Yours sincerely, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
