Dear Mr. Wishart, Thank you so much for your letter of the 3rd July. I am sorry to trouble you further but there is one other point I would like to raise: do you find that your costs are very much greater using magnesium than using aluminium ? Also, could you tell me where your magnesium castings are made ? Yours sincerely, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
