| X1110 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth.22/KW. 18th December, 1935. Messrs. Borg & Beck Ltd., Tachbrook Road, Leamington Spa. For the attention of Mr . Barker. Dear Sirs, We enclose herewith the Questionnaire Form respecting the 11" application. Will you please note that we are primarily interested in the non-ventilated type, not ventilated as communicated to you in error previously. When you have considered the matter we should be glad to have an installation drawing from you giving dimensions and limits in line with those decided upon for the 10" clutch. We are seriously considering putting these clutches on Production cars in about 4 weeks time and would like your assurance that you will be in a position to deal with, say, 16 per week. We should be glad to hear from you regarding the above matters at your earliest convenience. Meanwhile please accept our best thanks for the urge you put on the clutch we ordered today. Regarding the 'Hyco' woven lining, we find that this is fitted to the long semi-centrifugal in the Packard Car. We are not sure whether or not it is fitted to the Lincoln clutch. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
