The names and addresses of the writers, not necessarily for publication, must in all cases accompany letters intended for insertion in these columns. STATEMENTS that we should import parts from America, seeing the ROLLS-ROYCE AND INCORRECT [2065] Persistent statements are being circulated to the effect that all or the majority of the parts of the new 20 h.p. Rolls-Royce chassis are manufactured at the Works at Springfield, Mass., of Rolls-Royce of America, Inc. We should be glad if you will allow us to state most emphatically that there is not an atom of foundation for this ridiculous statement. It is difficult to understand how anyone should believe magnitude of our plant at Derby. As a matter of fact, the orders for the American-made 40-50 h.p. Rolls-Royce car are now exceeding every ,week the number of chassis produced, and the writer is on the point of leaving for America to discuss, amongst other things, the proposal that the English Company should send chassis to America to made good this deficiency. c.
