| 302 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}10/MH.{M. Huckerby} 30th. August 1938. Messrs. Buck & Hickman Ltd., 2, 4 & 6, Whitechapel Road, LONDON, E.C.1. Dear Sirs, We have recently obtained from Gleason's in America, some new Hypoid axle gears. After our usual dynamometer test these are not in a satisfactory condition. We should be glad, therefore, if one of your technical representatives could come and look at the gears and give us his opinion on the cause of the trouble. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
