| Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} G/JWH. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}2/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 1166 4th November, 1937. Messrs. Donald Sessions & Co.,Ltd., 906, Harrow Road, Willesden, N.W. 10. Dear Sirs, We have gone into the question of the dimensions of a portable jack we shall require on the Bentley. Can you, therefore, please supply us for test purposes with a portable hydraulic jack, to have a lift of 13.625 inches (2 1/2" more than the samples we have). The bracket which is hooked on to the car can be permanently fixed as in the sketch, if this simplifies the manufacture. Lift 13.625 3.000 Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
