"COPY" 14th December, 1936. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. P/B.2290. Dear Sirs, We have pleasure in advising you that a consignment of Bearing Liners has been despatched today. We hope you will receive them in good time. May we take this opportunity of referring to the six Clutch Facings supplied for test on the 16th August, 1935. The dimensions were 4.670 x 3.405 x .1875, and the last report made on their service was given to our Representative about six months ago to the effect that the linings were still fitted to the vehicle and were giving satisfactory service. We shall be very interested to know whether the test has been concluded, and whether the result is satisfactory. Yours faithfully, GANDYS, (The G.B.M.Co.Ltd.) (Signed) C.H. Probert, General Manager. | ||
