A. {Mr Adams} Robotham Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd, DERBY Your ref:Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 9/R Dear Mr. Robotham, I am in receipt of your letter of the 28th inst. reference as above, and note the reason you would like the undercut modification to the strangler spindle bearing. I will therefore arrange to carry this out as soon as you give definite instructions, but I may add in passing that we have never come across a case yet of a strangler jamming for the reason you mention, even on those controlled by a thermostat, where the motive power is very small. However, if you think it will be a good idea we will certainly carry it out. Meanwhile, I remain, Yours sincerely, TLT/GD. | ||
