Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY. 30th Dec/1937. Dict.29.12.37) SBT/JL. ATTENTION MR. LESLIE. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 12th instant, and we are pleased to note that you are still considering the use of Silentbloc anti-vibration Mountings. As regards the dimensions of the holes in the flange, the point we wish to make clear is that, as you know pierced holes are not parallel, and although they will be within your limits on one side of the flange, there will be a considerable discrepancy on the other. However, we have found no trouble with this particular matter in the past, and if you are prepared to accept flanges with pierced holes, the mountings will, of course, be cheaper. We thank you for your good wishes which we heartily reciprocate. Yours faithfully, SILENTBLOC LIMITED, [Signature] TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT. | ||
