| 1110 Experimental Dept. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Smth.11/JH. 21st. January, 1937, Messrs. Newton & Bennett Ltd., Valetta Road, Acton, London.W.3. For the attention of Mr. N.B.Newton. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 12th instant. The clutch disc has now done a certain amount of running in a car, and so far has proved satisfactory. We are continuing to run it and shall be able to form a more definite opinion of its merits when we have had a bit more experience. In the meantime we do not think that any useful purpose could be served at this stage by a discussion. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
