| 427 (Experimental Dept.) Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/Les/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 1st June, 1938. Messrs. John Thompson Motor Pressing Ltd., Beacon Works, WOLVERHAMPTON. (For the attention of Mr. Hunt) Dear Sirs, Concerning the experimental frames with a cruciform in the centre, we have now decided to use 3/8" dia. rivets for the front end to replace the 7/16" dia. rivets which have been used on recent frames. We are making the necessary alterations to the drawings, but are taking this opportunity to warn you, as we do not want the next frame to have any 7/16" rivets. Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
