| X1166 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring}22/KW. 30th December, 1935. Messrs. Donald Sessions & Co.Ltd., 906, Harrow Road, Willesden, LONDON, N.W.10. For the attention of Mr. D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} Sessions. Dear Sirs, Ph.III Hydraulic Jacks. We are in receipt of the Lockheed flexes and joint connection pieces, for which we thank you. On inspection of the connection pieces we find that the olive seatings have been damaged, and we are having to machine the faces up in order to make use of them. We think the damage was done in running the tap down when clearing the threads, the base of the tap fouling the seatings. However, we point this out to you so that this point can be watched in future connections. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
