| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}10/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 24th May, 1937. Messrs. Hardy, Spicer & Co.,Ltd., Witton, BIRMINGHAM. For the attention of Mr. Daniel. Dear Sirs, Sometime ago you supplied us with a Propeller Shaft to our drawing N. Schemes 5029 and 5032. We now want for test a Propeller Shaft exactly as the first one, except that it should be 3/8" shorter. We should very much like to have this shaft for test in a day or two. Will you, therefore, please let us know whether you can do this either by supplying a new shaft, or by shortening the one we alrdy have. Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
