| CONTINUATION. DONALD SESSIONS & COMPANY, LIMITED. - 2 - Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd. 1st March, 1937 the behaviour of our standard pump and pump floorboard cover and also the loose rubber rams, all of which have been in your hands for some time for test. We should also appreciate a layout for the mounting of single stage rams situated in the centre of your triangle front suspension arms, as if single stage rams could be used satisfactorily at this point a saving in cost will result provided, of course, the fittings you supply are not more costly than those already employed to carry our long range rams in their present position. Further, we should like to have a layout of the pipe line which you consider would be satisfactory for operation with the single stage front rams. If you would let us have the above information, we could put forward a specification for the system as a whole and including a modified tank which in our opinion would result in a considerable saving in cost, and we look forward to your further communication with interest. Yours faithfully, For DONALD SESSIONS & COMPANY LIMITED. Donald Sessions. Director. DWS/IKS | ||
