PARNELL. Dear Sirs, With regard to the brake layout for our Rippletto car, on the occasion of our discussion here in Derby on April 23rd, the question was raised as to what thickness of lining the range of adjustment provided. We should like to know if a thickness of .250 can be taken. Our Mr. Bastow, who is doing the design work on this job, would like to have further details of the special wheel cylinder units, of whichhe has only one drawing, this being an outside elevation. We shall be very grateful if you can let us have these particulars as soon as possible. Yours faithfully, for Rolls Royce Ltd., | ||
