| 1293 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les3/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 29th June, 1937. Gordon Armstrong, Esq., Waltham Works, BEVERLEY. Yorks. Dear Mr. Armstrong, Thank you for your letter, the dampers for 33-EX and the drawings. I feel quite certain that we shall need the large diameter shaft, particularly for auto-locking on the Phantom III. Auto-lock dampers do not need to be very severe in action for the rear, but it is difficult to get too much load on the front of a car. It will be very interesting to get some of these auto-locks on a car. Yours sincerely, | ||
