JNL/KM G.H.Grylls Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. Dear Mr. Grylls, I thank you for your letter of the 17th. of October containing an enquiry about an automatic brake adjustment apparatus you saw at these Works. I do not think there is any reason why you should not have seen it, and I have written today enquiring for the name of the owners of the design. I will let you know in due course. I feel sure too that the owner (I believe, an employee of the Birmingham Corporation) will be only too pleased to know that your interest is aroused. We are preparing a stock of S.5805 against your possible demands for trial sets so that there will be no delay. As regards RAD.5 crank-shaft dampers, these have been put in hand. Yours truly, FERODO LIMITED. M Longley. CHIEF CHEMIST. | ||
