| X4522 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} 21/KW. 4th December, 1934. Messrs. Wilmot-Breeden Ltd., Eastern Works, Camden Street, Birmingham, 1. For the attention of Mr. Spicer. Dear Sirs, We herewith confirm our conversation by telephone of to-day, concerning the queries on the Stabiliser which we require urgently. (1) The silent bloc bush can be made separate from the distance piece for the first demonstration Stabiliser. (2) The material of the combined bush and distance piece when in one piece would be best quality mild steel and when made separately, as in the case of the first Stabiliser, the distance piece should also be of best quality mild steel. Our Drawing Office will send you detail drawings of the nut as soon as they are available. They will also send you a complete set of detail drawings for the whole Stabiliser and Number Plate Support Brackets as soon as possible, but we do not think it will be necessary to wait for these for the first Stabiliser. The material of the nut should be mild steel. | ||
