| 1201 Experimental Department 16th November 1936. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.27/AP. Messrs Leyland Motors Ltd., Leyland, LANCS For the attention of Mr.Pilkington. Dear Sirs, Thank you for your letter of the 10th inst. It is interesting to find that the "Stabilus" is the generally accepted hydraulic stabilisation system in this country. My criticism of the "Stabilus" system on the Ford was rather that the car's springs being too stiff to get an impression that would be useful to us. Mr. Robotham feels that the only way for us to test this system is to rig it up on one of our cars and adjust it to our requirements. We should therefore still be very grateful if you would procure for us the necessary parts, Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
