| 1305 August 3rd.1937 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.5/AP. Messrs Silentbloc Ltd., Victoria Gardens, Ladbroke Road, Notting Hill Gate, LONDON W.11. For the attention of Mr.Jolly. Dear Sirs, We shall be interested to receive your latest samples of bushes having extra thrust capacity, also the comparative load deflection figures against the Inlox Bush. With regard to the shock absorber link ball ends, we have no objection to the hole being blocked up in the ball and would like you to do this. We are sending you a drawing of our present lubricated connecting link. Naturally, we should like to see the exterior dimensions small, but would be probably ready to make other chassis alterations if extra space made a large difference to the reliability of the links. Yours faithfully FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
