YOUR REF RM {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 9 /R. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1 /R. 30th August,1938. Mr.Robotham. Messrs.Rolls-Royce Limited, Derby. 1020a Dear Sir, We have to thank you for your letters of the 26th and 27th inst., the former dealing with the bearings regarding Dennis Brothers. Unfortunately our people had already released the A.C.6.Bearing, and it had been sent to Dennis Brothers, and as they put in on test, we will know what the comparison may be in performance between the A.C.6. and the A.C.9. We quite agree that it would be entirely wrong to development a bearing to correspond with Dennis's requirements, particularly as this, is perhaps due to faulty engine design. Regarding De Havilland I have been in touch with Mr. Brodie, who is handling this job for Major Halford, and no doubt you will be able to fix a date after you return from your Holidays. May I take this opportunity of hoping that you will have decent weather and a very pleasant time. Yours faithfully, for WELLWORTHY PISTON RINGS LIMITED. F.Blackith Technical Manager. | ||
