Messrs.Park Ward & Co.Ltd., 473, High Road, Willesden, London N.W.10. Dear Sir, Re: Front Wings of 11.B.5. Herewith we enclose a blueprint of PD.350, shewing the wing contour and stay, together with the headlamps and horns for 11.B.5. The junction of the wing inner valance to the main wing has had to be raised .750" higher than shewn on your original tracing in order to make the socket on the headlamp tube land conveniently on the wing proper. Longer headlamp tubes are needed due to the more forward position of the radiator, and a modified spherical socket. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. CHIEF ENGINEER - CHASSIS. | ||
