WST X6011 X6079 Messrs Rolls-Royce, Ltd., D E R B Y. Dear Sirs, We beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 29th inst., on the subject of Lubrication Bushes for trolley wheel spindles on electric tramway cars and Omnibuses. We ourselves do not manufacture the Trolley Collector Gear used on vehicles of this type, and we think it would be an advantage from your point of view, therefore, if you communicated with the actual designers and suppliers, who would, no doubt, be pleased to give you any information they have available. We suggest that you should communicate with Messrs Brecknell, Willis & Co., Jacob Street, Bristol, who have in the past supplied us with a very considerable amount of collector gear for Tramway Vehicles and Buses. Yours faithfully, THE BRUSH ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING Co. Ltd.
