| 1262 Experimental Dept. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}1/MH.{M. Huckerby} 23rd. November 1938. J.A.Daniell, Esq., Messrs. Hardy Spicer & Co. Ltd., Witton, BIRMINGHAM. Dear Mr. Daniell, I am sending you herewith our drawing GB.3240, of the rear propellor shaft on our Bentley chassis. Can you let us have a slip joint, which in our case is fitted at the back end, of the 1350 type, to give the same overall shaft length so that we can change over from the small type to the large type on a car now running an endurance test ? We actually require 26° movement of this joint and hope you can manage to let us have one such piece within a week from now. Yours sincerely, | ||
