| 1036? EXPERIMENTAL DEPARTMENT. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}18/JH. 28th June, 1938. Messrs. Ferodo Ltd., Chapel-en-le-Frith. For the attention of Mr. Longley. Dear Sirs, Many thanks for your sample of VM.20. taper packing for carburetter insulation. At the moment we are trying out a new scheme to do away with the idea of taper packings, they present rather a difficulty both in material and in obtaining correct joint facing. Please do not proceed further therefore with the taper packings unless you hear from us again. Thanking you very much for the interest taken. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
