OUR REF. WES/PW.

Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd.,
Derby.
For the attention of N.R. Chandler Esq.

Dear Sirs,

The writer would apologise for inadvertently omitting to acknowledge your letter of the 5th instant, particularly with regard to your last paragraph.

We would inform you that half-a-dozen clutch discs in Ferodo S.7732 material have been put in hand to our nearest die dimension which is 11.3/32" x 6.1/2". We would prefer, however, to supply these to the correct size, and perhaps you will be good enough to give us the actual dimensions as fitted to the clutch.

Thermoid are 11"
Rabestos " 10" 7/8

Yours faithfully,
FERODO LIMITED.
W.E. Shilton,
per PW.
Technical Department.
