| 2006 440 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.2/AP. March 2nd.1938 Messrs Gallay Ltd., Vulcan Works, Edgware Road, Cricklewood, LONDON N.W.2. For the attention of Mr.L.T.Delaney. Dear Sirs, We have received the samples of your matrix blocks for which we thank you, and these are similar to samples which you have previously sent us. As we have already explained to you, we have test figures on your blocks which do not demonstrate any superiority of your matrix - if however, you claim any recent improvements that is another matter. We shall be pleased to test a sample matrix to our drawing EB.3513 if you are prepared to supply same free of charge- if not we do not think that any useful purpose will be served by continuing this correspondence. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. (Experimental Dept.) | ||
