| 1305. pte. EXPERIMENTAL DEPARTMENT. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FWK.20/JH. 13th. December, 1938. Toledo Woodhead Springs Ltd., Toledo Steel Works, Sheffield.1. For the attention of Mr. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Spittlehouse. Dear Sirs, We acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 12th inst. and note that you are not expecting any more interleaving from the U.S.A. We have therefore written to Messrs. Ferodo asking them to supply you with the necessary interleaving - 2 1/4" wide. A copy of our letter is enclosed. We do not yet know how long they will take to produce this material. In the meantime we have ordered from you three pairs of springs - type FW.1781. We want Ferodo interleaving between the top three rubbing surfaces of each spring, the remainder of the spring being interleaved in the usual manner. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
