| 4236 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Mths.{Reg Matthews}21/KW. 28th November,1935. The Light Production Co.Ltd., 60/66, Rochester Row, Westminster, London, S.W.1. For the attention for C.H. Brooks, Esq. Dear Sirs, We are returning to you one of the 3 1/4" bore pistons you despatched to us recently. This piston you will notice has a crack at the lower end of the skirt, and we should like another one to replace it as we have only the bare number required for our tests. We do not know how the crack originated, but from the look of the pistons it seems to have been knocked about somewhat. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
