83409 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}5/KT. January 5th 1933. E.D. Dalmaine Esq., 29, Kelmscott Road, Harborne, B'ham, 17. Dear Mr. Dalmaine, Thank you for your letter of the 1st. inst. I am sorry I have not answered before, but I could not fix up to see you. As a matter of fact we have altered our rear brake dimensions since you supplied your linings, therefore we cannot test a complete set with what we have. If, however, you will let us have 12 linings off to the attached piece number G.100977, we shall be able to make some tests. We have got some excellent results with Ferodo Bonded Asbestos linings and Minilite drums, and we are doubtful whether we shall find a better combination. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
