ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. INSTRUCTIONS. X5783do. To EFC. Customer's No. Dynamo (20-HP) L-7-0. This machine has been returned from Test Dept. as noisy. Will you kindly let me know what we can do to quieten it. We have done all we know how. (without modifying) We get many instances like this, & have wasted thousands of hours in changing parts. I think Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} will not agree to me doing this any longer on account of the cost. I propose sending all future noisy machines that are turned down by test to you. as it seems that something away from standard will have to be done to quieten them. Signed E J Brock. This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work.
