| X3-99. Experimental Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.12/KT. December 14th 1933. The Packless Gland Co. Ltd., Windmill Road, Sunbury, Middlesex. For the attention of Mr.Martin-Hurst. Dear Sirs, Just to let you know that we have instructed our drawing office to specify a "hot brass pressing" for the bellows end piece instead of "gun-metal" for our part no. F.85395. Thank you for the results of flexible shock damper gland test. The parts for these assemblies will leave here in a day or two. Sorry to hear you have been having 'flu. I hope it is not the result of stuffy offices with draughty windows. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
