| c. Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} c. RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/Smth/B. 25th May, 1937. Messrs. Borg & Beck Company, Ltd., Tachbrook Road, LEAMINGTON SPA. For the attention of Mr. H.T. Barker. Dear Sirs, We are continually having to re-set the fingers of early Borg & Beck clutches, and would find it a convenience if we carried a stock of, say, 500 castellated eye-bolt nuts. We are accordingly passing you an order for these. Will you also please despatch to us a set of 12 green thrust springs on the top limit of poundage, i.e., 115 lbs. Both of these items are urgently required. We are hoping to have further news from you very shortly on the position of the cushion springs for the experimental Phantom III plate. Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
