| X1180 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth.11/KW. 13th June, 1936. Messrs. Ferodo Ltd., Chapel-en-le-Frith. For the attention of Mr. Longley. Dear Sirs, We have now managed to get hold of one of the original Ph.III clutch plates, with 1/8" thick facings, and we should very much like to run it on your centrifugal machine. Would it be convenient if we brought it along on Tuesday afternoon for this test ? We are to-day passing you an order for two 13½" x 9½" x .130" facings backed by a .015" jagged steel plate, as discussed with Mr. Holmes yesterday. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
