		Charles Stewart Rolls and Frederick Henry Royce came from very different backgrounds, they had very different educations and, until shortly before they met, their careers were going in very different directions.
		But he very nearly missed his chance to achieve both these aims at once because when Henry Edmunds, a shareholder in Royce Ltd, told Rolls about Henry Royce's new 2 cylinder car, Rolls assumed that it would be a noisy and inefficient as all the other 2 cylinder cars on the road.
		In contrast, Royce was to spend many more years at the head of the company stamping his unique personality on Rolls-Royce motor cars right up to his death on 22 April 1933.
