| X51 Expl. Dept. Ha/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/MJ. March 28th.1931. Messrs. Hardy Spicer & Co. Ltd., Birch Road, Witton, BIRMINGHAM. Dear Sirs, Fabric Couplings. We notice that your fabric couplings are marked with various numbers. We have recently been testing a batch stamped with the number 104 and these have given us particularly good life. We do not know if there is any peculiarity about this number coupling but if so we should like to have any information you can give us on the subject. Yours faithfully, For Rolls-Royce Ltd. | ||
