Shaft General November 11th, 1938. F.T. Hardy, Esq., Experimental Department, Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. Dear Sir, We understand that you called on our stand at the recent Motor Show, and were interested in the Weiss constant velocity universal joint, which has been developed by our American Company. We are, therefore, enclosing a leaflet which describes this joint, and would mention that end motion is obtainable on straight race joints up to 15° angle. We are also enclosing certain drawings, which give examples of vehicle application of joints, and torque range suitable for such applications. As you are probably aware, we are not as yet manufacturing this joint in this country, but can, of course, obtain samples of standard joints from our friends in America should you be interested. Yours faithfully, BENDIX LIMITED, P.D. BURCH, Sales Manager.
