| 1029 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM{Anthony F. Martindale}4/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 15th October, 1937. New Hudson Ltd., Ickneild Street, BIRMINGHAM. For the attention of Mr. Frazer. Dear Sirs, We should be much obliged if you would send us a layout drawing of a standard 12" Girling brake assembly. Have you such an assembly with shoes 1 3/4" wide ? We also would like a drawing of the leather cover you use on front brakes at the junction of the pull rods and the wedge. We are interested in the automatic adjuster that you have fitted to commercial vehicles; have you ever considered getting one out suitable for a 12" dia. brake assembly ? We should like the drawings as soon as possible. Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
