| 13/60 EXPERIMENTAL DEPARTMENT. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /CTS. {C. Trot Salt - Carburation} 2/ET. 19th November, 1940. ROTOL AIRSCREWS Ltd., Cheltenham Road, GLOUCESTER. Attention of Mr. Fairhurst. Dear Mr. Fairhurst, Some time ago, we supplied your factory with a Phantom II chassis engine. This was done through RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} We are anxious to know whether this engine is still fitted with hydraulic tappets, and whether these are fitted on the push rod end of the rocker. We would also like to know whether this engine is still in use by your people, because if it is not, we would like to get it back. Would you be good enough to let me have this information, addressing your reply for my attention at the Clan Foundry, Belper, at your earliest convenience. Yours faithfully, | ||
