| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.2/AP. Experimental Department 8th June 1937 Silentbloc Ltd., Victoria Garden, Ladbroke Road, Notting Hill Gate. LONDON W.11. For the attention of Mr.Jelly. Dear Sirs, Thank you for your letter of the 26th. of last month, and all the information concerning Inlox bushes. Although we are anxious to get Inlox bushes made in England, we should like to test your special Silentbloc bushes similar to F.372213. The quickest way to get results would be to try some of your bushes on a Packard car which we have and which does quite a large mileage. We are sending you 2 different Packard Inlox bushes and would like you to produce if possible 3 replacement bushes for each type. We suggest that you should take full deflection figures before supplying the bushes and we will return them to you after a large mileage for the deflection tests to be repeated. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
