| 1263 Experimental Dept. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems}17/JH. 17th September, 1937. The Nothern Rubber Company Ltd., Retford, Notts. Dear Sirs, We thank you for the sample of Neoprene tubing 3/8" inside bore. We should be obliged if you could send a further sample 24" long of similar tubing to enable us to test this in a chassis under ordinary conditions and would prefer that this tube is armoured with either steel wire or canvas as you suggested. We should also be interested to know what kind of fixing you would use to attach a union and nut to this tubing. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
