| Roy{Sir Henry Royce}/Ms. From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AJL. X3035. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AJL.1/MJ.24.9.30. Will you please order twelve discs of cotton 'A' fabric to the diametrical dimensions shown on E.53018 (Ferodo bonded asbestos for torque reaction dampers). The thickness should be the same as used for the servo linings (G.78542). These can be cut out of the material used for the servo linings, and should thus be obtainable very quickly; they are urgently required. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AJL. | ||
