F.{Mr Friese} J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Hardy Esq., Messrs Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr Hardy, We regret the delay in sending to you the small Servo discs, promised for Tuesday last. We are now despatching to you: (1) 12 discs somewhat similar to VM.30 - labelled "Ferodo Moulded S.5584." (2) 12 discs, RAD.13 type. - labelled "Ferodo S.5775". In this latter case, having no suitable die, these have had to be machined after being made in a larger die. Hence, the rather rough periphery. You will note that we have re-inforced the portions between the spline holes, which appear rather a different colour. We shall be interested to know what results you get with each of these qualities. Kind regards, Yours very truly, FERODO LIMITED J Longley Chief Chemist. | ||
