| 646. Experimental Dept. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Les.11/JH. 3rd February, 1937. Messrs. Samuel Fox & Co.Ltd., Stocksbridge Works, Sheffield. For the attention of Mr. Starling. Dear Sirs, I find that weight of an 1100 lbs. spring to FW.754 is 13 ozs. I think yesterday I mentioned some much higher figure. The attached print shows the head of our present centre bolt, so will enable an allowance on your quotation for the parallel bolt. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
