| INLAND MANUFACTURING DIVISION GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION DAYTON, OHIO July 1st 1937 Rolls-Royce, Limited Derby - England Attention: Mr. L. A.{Mr Adams} Leslie Dear Sir:- Your letter of April 21st to Mr. Geyer has been referred to the Sales Department and I wish to advise that the Inlox bushings differ from Silect-bloc bushings in the method of manufacture and do gain some extra thrust capacity by the rolled over ends. We do not have a bushing #60444 and are assuming you mean Packard bushing #304444 which is our #752231. Packard #302867 bushing is our #751997 and I am attaching a complete set of prints on each of these bushings. At the present time we do not have complete tests on deflections of these two bushings and I am sending you under separate cover one-half dozen of each bushing in order that you may make any tests you desire. These Inlox bushings are covered by a Patent in England and we would either be very glad to ship these bushings to you from our plant or to license you to manufacture these bushings in England. With regard to the licensing, if you will get in contact with Mr. W. W. Constantine, 111 Grosvenor Road, London, S.W.1 England, he would be very glad to discuss this matter with you. Thanking you for your interest and consideration and hoping this is the information you desire, I remain Sincerely yours, J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} F.{Mr Friese} Gagle, Sales Department JFG:EMR cc: Mr. W. W. Constantine 111 Grosvenor Road, London, S. W. 1 England. | ||
