| 1029. EXPERIMENTAL DEPARTMENT. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems}22/JH. 17th. May, 1939. Messrs. New Hudson Ltd., Icknield St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} BIRMINGHAM.18. For the attention of Mr. Fraser. Dear Sirs, We have been experiencing trouble with the white grease with which the expanders are packed, melting out when hot. We have also found that Mobiloil grease No.5. considerably diminishes this trouble and we would like all the expanders and adjusters packed with this grease instead of white grease as at present. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
