Rolls-Royce Ltd., Experimental Car Department, DERBY. For the attention of Mr. Edwards. Dear Sirs, You will recollect that it was arranged we should carry out further tests on modified three point fan drives, and that amongst other things the possibility of using one or more moulded fabric pulleys were to be explored. It was arranged that certain pulleys should be supplied by your goodselves, and we wondered if you have been able to proceed any further with this work, under present day conditions. Yours faithfully, FERODO LIMITED. W.E.Shilton Manager, Technical Department. See over | ||
