| 1300 Experimental Department. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /FJH. {Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} 15/JMS. 9.5.40. Messrs. Automotive Products Co. Ltd., Tackbrook Road, LEAMINGTON SPA. For the attention of F. {Mr Friese} G. {Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} Parnell, Esq. Dear Sirs, We regret the delay in sending you the prints of our present steering layout, but the matter has been overlooked as both Mr. Robotham and the Writer have been away owing to illness. We enclose two prints, numbers FCD.254 and NSch.4849. The former shows our present layout while the latter shows the type of mud shield we still use. During the discussion on the occasion of Mr. Parnell's visit to us on 23/4/40, it was agreed that for the purpose of trying your joints we will adapt our levers to make the mean position of the ball pin at right angles to the centre line of the tube. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS ROYCE LIMITED. Prints enclosed: FCD.254. NSch.4849. | ||
