| R.R. 238 (24 n) (L.L. 255. 10.6.12) E.P. 1997. ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. INSTRUCTIONS. To: Mr Barrington Customer's No. X180 Re Experimental Chassis. If we are going to be supplied with an experimental chassis of each series, it is essential it should be an exact model of what is going to be produced. On 2200 series, there is going to be fitted an engine coupling .500" longer than the present standard. This is obtained by shortening the clutch hub, now on our 2200 chassis we have no such thing & we had no idea what was going to be altered. 2200 chassis should have been built to the supervision sheets for that series. Signed: Contd This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work. | ||
