| 1305 Expl. Dept. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Les.8/MJ. 3rd. November, 1936. Messrs. T. Firth & John Brown Ltd., Spring Dept., Tinsley Works, Sheffield. For the attention of Mr. Porter. Dear Sir, We are returning to you under separate cover, the following road springs - 1 Pair of FW.122. 1 Pair of FW.123. 1 Pair of FW.124. Will you please reset these springs so that the camber is that of FW.754., and return them to us at the earliest possible date. We realise that these springs are not likely to be as reliable as new springs but we cannot afford to wait for a supply of new ones. Yours faithfully, For Rolls-Royce Ltd. | ||
