Ace works, Queen Victoria Road, COVENTRY. For the attention of Mr. Ryecroft. Dear Sirs, We are returning to you the 16" wire wheel, dummy hub and wheel nut. They differ from GB.3733 in that the wheel shell is about .120 shorter than shown on the drawing. The drawing shows the clearance we shall have on production, but of which we have not now a sample. Would it not be better, before making samples, to send us drawings of the proposed schemes together with quotations to compare with the simplest arrangement ? Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
