| 1305 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Clm.{D. D. Clapham}7/JH. 7th. January, 1940. Toledo Woodhead Springs Ltd., SHEFFIELD.1. For the attention of Mr.Spittlehouse. Dear Sirs, With regard to the 900 and 950 lb. springs which we have on order from you, namely 2 off FB.4272 and 2 off FB.4273. We are sending herewith the latest drawing from which you will see that only difference is in the loaded camber which should now be flat. We should be obliged if you would make the springs now on order to this drawing, and the piece numbers will then become FR.248 and FR.249. We require these springs urgently. With regard to the table of leaf thicknesses we leave it to you to choose suitable thickness, but we should like to hear what thicknesses you do choose at your convenience so that we can keep one drawing up to date. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
