| THE S.U. COMPANY CONTINUATION NO. 2. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd. experience with corrosion caused by this material and therefore if you think there is going to be any trouble caused by this, we should have to experiment with alternative materials. The steel bodies for the pumps are made and so is everything else, and therefore as soon as the coils and the impact washers come in, we shall be able to get on with the job. Yours faithfully, For THE S.U. COMPANY. R Leslie Kent P.S. The coils have now arrived. P.P.S. We have tried the cushion spring with a 30 thou. projection, and it is much noisier than standard. We are writing Messrs. Coopers asking them to supply us with some plain jointing in order that we may cut some washers out ourselves for experimental purposes. | ||
