| 1293 EXPERIMENTAL DEPARTMENT. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HFP.1/JH. 1st. July, 1939. Messrs. Vandervell Products Ltd., Western Ave., Park Royal, LONDON.W.3. Dear Sirs, We enclose drawings of two bushes FB.4718 and FB.4719 and of the shock damper casing FB.4717 into which these are pressed. We are thinking of replacing these bushes by ones manufactured by you, we should be obliged if you would inform us, how best to employ your bushes for this purpose and give us an estimate of the cost. There would be a certain amount of end thrust on these two bearings in addition to the normal journal load. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
