Strong} MARY'S CHURCH, BEVERLEY E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} YORKS. GORDON ARMSTRONG A.M.I.A.E., F.Inst.PAT. N.O.TILL. OUR REF: GA.WC.3. YOUR REF: Experimental Dept. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. 31st Dec. 1936. For Mr. Leslie's attention. Dear Mr. Leslie, As promised, I herewith enclose you drawing showing the 1¼" and 1⅛" spindle. I think you will agree that the 1⅛" is a much sounder job, and should be, I think, sufficiently strong to stand anything that these shock absorbers are likely to give. Have you any better ideas to offer regarding the connecting rod section ? I will take this opportunity of wishing you and your Experimental staff all the best for the New Year. Yours sincerely, p.p. THE GORDON ARMSTRONG PATENT SUSPENSION CO. LTD. Gordon Armstrong P.S. We are sending the revised taper valves off to you tomorrow. ENCL. | ||
