| 1022 Ylb Bm/Sd.2/GH.5.2.40. 5th February 1940. Messrs. Hallam, Sleigh & Cheaton Ltd., Widney Works, Bagot Street, BIRMINGHAM. 4. Dear Sirs, FOR THE ATTENTION OF MR. BOOTH. -------------------------------- We attach herewith drawing FL.62, showing a scheme for a bonnet hinge on our Ripplet car. As you will observe this can be made up from a standard Bentley V hinge by removing 1.450" at the radiator end, and we should like you to put a hinge in hand at the earliest possible moment, as we shall require it at an early date. An official order is being passed through our Order office and will follow shortly. Yours faithfully, DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER - CHASSIS. ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
