(For the attention of Mr. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Milne.) Dear Sirs, With regard to the trouble which you are having due to failure of the centre main bearing in aluminium tin alloy on your 4-cylinder 100 x 120 engine, we should be grateful if you would send us a drawing of the crankshaft. We shall then be able to get some idea of its stiffness, and the amount of balance employed. Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
