June. 1939. The Morgan Crucible Co.Ltd., Battersea Works, Church Road, LONDON. S.W.11. Dear Sirs, We are anxious to try a modified form of thrust washer in carbon as on the attached print RXS.1777, and think that possibly you may have some standard washer to these dimensions. If this is the case we should be glad if you would forward six washers as soon as possible as the job is extremely urgent and we should like to get the parts on test immediately. An official order is being passed through our order office and will follow in the course of a post or two. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
