| X5001 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.11/KW. 22nd November,1934. The British Tyre & Rubber Co.Ltd., Burton-on-Trent, Staffs. For the attention of Mr. Williams. Dear Sirs, We require 2 rubber buffers to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1620 and 2 buffers to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1621. All the other dimensions are shown on F.86680. The idea is to try a longer, more flexible buffer. Can you try to produce these without using moulds ? We should be grateful if you would treat this job as being urgent. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
