The Bifurcated & Tubular Rivet Co., Ltd., Aylesbury, Bucks: Your Ref: LMP/CW/EGB/Q. Dear Sirs, With further reference to your letter of the 6th January, we should like to know if the shoe shown on the enclosed drawing could be rivetted on the Bifurcated rivetter, using the new anvil, if we provide the usual flats. The difficulty here is that we cannot move the rivet holes further from the web. Trusting to hear from you shortly, We are, Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
