| 110 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Smth8/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 16th December, 1936. Messrs. Newton & Bennett Ltd., Valetta Road, Acton, LONDON. W.3. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 15th instant and for the clutch disc which came safely to hand last week. We have not been able to get the disc on test yet, but shall do so at the first opportunity, after which we will report the results. In the meantime, we are rather disappointed that the M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} of I. is so high. It is about 22% higher than for our standard disc. Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
