| 11/6? Experimental Dept. 17th. June 1938. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}11/MH.{M. Huckerby} J.N.Longley, Esq., Messrs. Ferodo Ltd., CHAPEL-EN-LE-FRITH. Dear Mr. Longley, We want a bush for a crankshaft damper to the dimensions on the attached blue print. We do not mind what material it is in provided it is of the Ferodo type which will not seize when running dry. We do not want to make a special mould and wonder whether you already have something sufficiently near to these dimensions of which you could make this part. If this is so will you please let us have one bush as soon as possible and we will send you an official order. Yours sincerely, | ||
