OUR REF JAD.MW.GGJ. YOUR REF Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}1/MH{M. Huckerby}

G.H. Grylls, Esq.,
Rolls Royce Ltd.,
D E R B Y.

30th November, 1938.

Dear Mr. Grylls,

With reference to yours of the 28th inst.

We are providing the joint with 26 degree angle to be on the axle end.

We think we should do this because if we are requested to get a larger angle than our present standard joint, the other users would require it on the fixed joint.

We enclose herewith Print 38-0996 which is the arrangement and will keep your records in order but if you find any error in it, will you please let me know.

Yours sincerely,

J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} A.{Mr Adams} Daniell
