C. Bowring}16/KW 3rd April, 1935 J.C.Bowering, Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., D E R B Y. Dear Mr. Bowering, I must thank you for your letter of the 29th ult. enclosing blue prints of water pump drive on 40/50 and 20/25 cars. These prints are exactly what I want, but I am not clear as to how much of the drive shown on the print, is existing today in each case. In the circumstances, therefore, I think we had better have a further chat on this subject and I propose visiting your Works on Tuesday next, the 9th inst. and trust this will be convenient for you. With regard to the rams on the hydraulic jacks, I note that you would favour a centrally fitted ram on the front axle of the cars and I think there will be no difficulty about this on our special 2-stage ram. Referring to your last paragraph re front fittings for D.W.S. on 20/25 h.p. cars, I am instructing the Works to remove the fitting bosses on the brackets in question, to enable these to be fitted lower and I enclose a blue print showing the modification, herewith. Yours very truly, Donald Sessions Director. DWS/IKS | ||
