| 642- April 7th.1938 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.1/AP. Superflexit Limited, Slough, BUCKS For the attention of Mr.Trounson. Dear Sirs, This is to confirm this afternoon's telephone conversation. We are requiring for one of our chassis a flexible tube approximately 12" long. On the car the maximum pressure is 50 lbs/sq." although we shall obviously require a good safety margin. The bore need not exceed 3/16" diameter. We shall be very interested to see a sample of a suitable tube fitted with your standard ends, and to have a quotation for quantities of 100 and 500. Although this tube will need to be oil resisting the temperature of the oil never exceeds 40°C. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
