J.Aherne-Heron(Experimental 6 CYL OHV 40/50 WITH PNEUMATIC F.W.B. air pump on camshaft, then Servo),Esq., Hiduminium Engineering Ltd., 115, Buckingham Avenue, SLOUGH. Bucks. Dear Sir, Thank you for your letter of the 22nd. March. I suggest provisionally Thursday or Friday, April 3rd. or 4th. for your visit. Light alloy brake drums were one of our problems and I see that you have made some progress in these and we shall be glad to test the results of your efforts. I enclose a scheme drawing which shows an all aluminium rear axle. The problem here is to fasten securely an extruded tube into an aluminium casting, for the minimum possible cost. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS ROYCE LTD., Attachment. Drawing Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 664. | ||
