FJF:AML YOUR REF. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rml/LG April 23rd, 1926 Messrs Rolls-Royce Limited, Experimental Department, DERBY. Dear Sirs: SPECIAL CLUTCH DISCS. We have pleasure in acknowledging receipt of your letter of the 20th instant, and also confirm the conversation we had yesterday with your Mr Hives, in respect of the friction facing for the two clutch plates you sent us. In your letter you suggested the facing should be Ferodo Bonded Asbestos, but we cannot mould this material to the plates, but as this was explained to Mr Hives he agreed that in the case of these two plates we should use our standard Ferobestos. The plates for your 20 HP will be complete on Tuesday next, and we hope to get the two through for your 40/50 car well within 14 days. We can assure you we are doing everything to expedite the work, but it is necessary to make dies as well as perforating the plates to obtain the necessary security of the moulded on facing.
