For the attention of Mr.H.T.Barker. Dear Sirs, We should be glad to hear how you are progressing in the finger setting campaign With regard to the last paragraph of your letter of the 14th inst., now that we appear to be able to set the fingers to within .005", we are reverting to that limit for production purposes. We should like to ask you to urge the special 10 - A.6. clutch with cross cushion driven plate, as we shall shortly be ready to fit this. We regret that we are not yet in a position to report on the 13¼" cross cushion plate. We are returning to you the 40 eyebolts you sent us a week or so ago, as we found that we did not need them. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
