| 236 Experimental Dept. 31st July, 1935. He/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/ETM. Messrs. Light Production Co. 60/66 Rochester Row, Westminster, LONDON. S.W.1. For the attention of Mr. C. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Brooks. Dear Mr. Brooks, How are the 3¼" bore standard type pistons going? When you have produced these we should like you to go ahead with pistons having a larger diameter gudgeon pin which you said that you would like. We are enclosing a print of what we are proposing for the pistons, and shall be glad if you will make a detailed drawing, letting us have it as soon as it is available. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
