For the attention of F.O.Hickling Esq. Dear Sirs, During the Writer's visit to you on Saturday last, he asked you to make for us three steering rollers to print reference M.22314 and your print reference X.2737.A. Part I. Will you please hold up the actual manufacture of these parts, as we think we may have to alter some dimensions on M.22314, but cannot yet say what they should be. In the meantime we should be glad if you could send us your proposals for a suitable ball bearing in the roller shewn on print reference M.22168, as arranged with you. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
