YOUR REFERENCE ......................... 28th March, 1940. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd. DERBY. ATTENTION: MR. ROBOTHAM. Dear Sirs, We enclose herewith our Test Report in duplicate on the "Spaulding" Interleaves. As you will observe from this we have not yet detected any creaks whatever, and it would appear that our machine is unsuitable for this particular test. Would you care for us to return to you the interleaf and spring shackle for your examination? We have been in touch with Messrs. Bakelite Ltd. with regard to the oiled type interleaf which the writer mentioned when he was last at your Works, and we hope to let you have some samples for test in about 7/10 days time. Assuring you of our best attention to your commands, Yours faithfully, For TOLEDO WOODHEAD SPRINGS LTD. [Signature: H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Spittlehouse] | ||
