| Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Std.1/MH. {M. Huckerby} 30th. April 1938. Messrs. John Marston Ltd., WOLVERHAMPTON. For the attention of Mr. Dunn. Dear Sirs, As discussed with Mr.Dunn over the telephone, we have despatched to you the sample Bentley dummy shutter set and inspection report on same - the writer will discuss this with you when he visits your works next week. We think that the gap between the two centre shutters is slightly too large from an appearance point of view (approx. .060), although it is correct to drawing, and would like you to advise us as to the practicability (from the point of view of tool alteration) of moving either the centre two or centre four shutters towards the centre a small amount - again we can discuss this with you when the writer visits Wolverhampton. Attached is a list of the parts of the Bentley 50 radiator which we will supply. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
