Huckerby} holen Run/SDD Messrs Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 29th June, enclosing belt drawings EB.3927 and EB.3948. It so happens that we are putting in moulds which are very similar to the belts shewn on your drawings as follows:- (m 288) E.B.3927. We have a mould for belts 5/8" top width, 7/16" thick, 32° angle, 37.75" inside circumference. (m 352) E.B.3948. We have a mould for belts 5/8" top width, 7/16" thick, 32° angle, 44.5" inside circumference. We feel that these sizes would probably be quite satisfactory for you, as no doubt a certain amount of adjustment is provided, and especially as you have found that our belts are free from any tendency to stretch. Yours faithfully, FERODO LIMITED. [Signature] | ||
